Returning are\u00a0Russian counterintelligence chief Colonel Dominika Egorova and Nathaniel Nash, an operative with the CIA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The reason behind the move from 2017 to 2018 was, apparently, so that the final book would come out just before the film adaptation of Red Sparrow<\/em> hits movie theaters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jennifer Lawrence<\/a> (The Hunger Games, Passengers<\/em>) stars as\u00a0Dominika Egorova, opposite of Joel Edgerton<\/a><\/span> (Warrior<\/em>, Exodus: Gods and Kings<\/em>) who is playing the role of Nathaniel Nash in the Francis Lawrence<\/a><\/span> (The Hunger Games<\/em> franchise)-directed film, which comes out on March 2, 2018. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For more on the upcoming\u00a0final chapter in Matthews’ trilogy, read the official plot synopsis below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Russian counterintelligence chief Colonel Dominika Egorova has been a recruited asset of the CIA, stealing Kremlin secrets for her CIA handler Nate Nash for over seven years. In the dazzling finale to the Red Sparrow Trilogy\u2014which will be published right before the release of Red Sparrow<\/i>, a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgarton\u2014their forbidden and tumultuous love affair continues, mortally dangerous for them both, but irresistible.<\/span><\/p>\n In Washington, a newly installed US administration is selecting its Cabinet members. Dominika hears a whisper of a closely held Kremlin operation to place a mole inside a high intelligence position. But it\u2019s worse than that: One of the three candidates under consideration has been a paid Russian spy for a decade, selling precious US secrets. If the Kremlin\u2019s candidate for the position is confirmed, the Russians will have access to all the names of assets spying for CIA in Moscow, including Dominika\u2019s. But which of the three individuals is the mole?<\/span><\/p>\n Dominika\u2019s report triggers a desperate mole hunt before she\u2019s exposed and arrested. Resisting all suggestions to defect and save herself, Dominika recklessly immerses herself in the palace intrigues of the Kremlin, searching for the mole\u2019s name, and stealing as many of President Putin\u2019s secrets for her CIA handlers before her time runs out\u2014even as Putin\u2019s dangerous interest in her grows. The treasure trove of her intelligence reporting sends Nate Nash and colleagues on desperate missions to Sevastopol, Istanbul, Khartoum, and Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n With a plot ripped from tomorrow\u2019s headlines, The Kremlin\u2019s Candidate<\/i> is a riveting read if you\u2019ve never read Jason Matthews, and a thrilling conclusion to the trilogy begun with Red Sparrow<\/i> and Palace of Treason<\/i>, which The New York Times Book Review<\/span><\/i> called, \u201ca primer in twenty-first-century spying…terrifically good.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
