The Nearest Exit by Olen Steinhauer

Milo Weaver is back.  This is the second book of the trilogy, the first being The Tourist, review to be found on Pick of the Literate on 10/19/20.  Milo is again a tourist and not the obvious kind.  He is a CIA tourist which is a secret group withing the CIA which seems to handle many of the black bag operations.   Milo is tasked to do something he finds morally repugnant and true to the clandestine methods of his job, he hides his disobedience.  The results fuel the plot.

The author has his main protagonist, Milo, re-evaluating his life and his morals.   Steinhauer clearly shows the devastating impact a life of lies has on the liar and his family.  

Steinhauer writes a devious plot with many twists, I enjoyed the book.
