She also worked in intelligence, traveling to forty-two countries on five continents. She was detained by the KGB and East German secret police, got shot at, flew in the first Gulf War, and amassed a lifetime’s worth of life experience to fuel her stories of life on the edge of danger.

As a military veteran who worked in intelligence, Cindy’s real-life experiences supercharge her novels with authenticity while offering readers an intimate insider's look at government intelligence.

From former spy-turned-New York Times bestselling author Cindy Dees, comes SECOND SHOT (Book 1 released May 2023) and DOUBLE TAP (Book 2, released May 2024) the exhilaratingly sharp, action-packed thriller series featuring the unforgettable Helen Warwick, a highly skilled CIA assassin of a certain age who’s trying to navigate retirement, settle into a normal life, and reconnect with her family meets with resistance from enemies old and new. A government assassin. A sociopathic killer. Hunters and the hunted in the ultimate game of deception, double-cross, and death.
