Book Description

Publication Date: 8 Nov 2012
Mulholland Books presents... THE RIGHT HAND

Theft. Kidnapping. Assassination.

There are some acts no government can sanction. There are some things all politicians must deny. Sometimes the left hand cannot know what the right hand is doing. Austin Clay is that right hand.

His latest task: to track down a fellow CIA operative who has gone missing near Moscow. But nothing is what it seems, and he soon finds himself protecting a desperate woman with a deadly secret.

Clay has always preferred to work on his own. But this time he has no choice - and no idea who to trust.

Review

Praise for Derek Haas (. )

'Derek Haas knows how to capture your attention with his first sentence and keep you in his thrall until his final words...THE RIGHT HAND, like a triple shot of espresso, will keep you up all night, eyes darting back and forth, wondering how it's all going to end.' (David Benioff )

'Derek Haas is a vivid and cinematic writer and THE RIGHT HAND is a roller coaster of a novel.' (Jeff Abbott )

'A devastatingly cool series' (New York Times Book Review on THE SILVER BEAR TRILOGY )

'Columbus is a hit man intriguing enough to take his place beside those created by Graham Greene and Lawrence Block.' (Los Angeles Times on DARK MEN )

'Brilliant, intense portrait of a professional hit man...cinematic-style story construction, cliffhangers and urgent narrative pace' (The Australian on THE SILVER BEAR )

'A thrilling page-turner - a cross between the Jason Bourne movies and the classic assassin film Leon.' (Company on HUNT FOR THE BEAR )

I am not familiar with this writer but this was a very good read. The novel; reminded me a little of Lee Child/Harlan Coben and is in good company with those writers.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'The Right Hand' is the right choice for a good spy story!! 14 Nov 2012
By Doug - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The main character in 'The Right Hand' is a black ops specialist doing the dirty work which the CIA either won't or can't publicly acknowledge. The story has lots of snappy dialogue, gun battles, car chases, double-crossing bad guys, surprise twists and turns, and an heroic effort by the hero of the story to permanently find and punish the traitors who are selling U.S. secrets to a recovering Russian spy aparatus. If you enjoyd Haas' earlier efforts (The Silver Bear, Columbus, & Dark Men) I believe you will not be disappointed in choosing 'The Right Hand.'

5.0 out of 5 stars The left hand doesn't know what he does. 20 Nov 2012
By plane - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Derek Haas has created a "different" CIA operative with The Right Hand. Austin Clay works for the CIA, but not with other agents. He is on his own with the single exception of his handler in executing his assignments. These are generally covert operations that are outside of what is normal CIA work. He operates as he sees fit in accomplishing his work, and has a reputation of the left hand (remainder of the CIA) not knowing what the right hand (Clay) is doing. Clay, as a young man, was subjected to virtual imprisonment for eight years on his uncle's boat after becoming an orphan. His personality is formed within the framework of abusive treatment, and eventual escape from his uncle. In this first Clay novel he is handed the assignment of rescuing a captured CIA agent being held in Russia. Events quickly move to the discovery of a young woman who unwittingly was connected to the imprisoned agent and knows the reason for his capture. Clay finds the girl as a possible means of tracing the whereabouts of the agent While proceeding he begins to experience protective feelings about the young lady, but realizes that he is too old for her. He is also too involved in his work to consider romance. But he does dedicate himself to making sure she is removed from danger showing a compassionate side for exploration in future books. Haas sketches Clay quite well, and the reader will understand a little of his conflicting feelings as he continues to work on his assignment. A book that is difficult to put down and a feeling that the ending is in keeping with the events depicted and satisfying for the reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars best one yet 18 Nov 2012
By James Olmstead - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This has to be Derek Haas's best book yet. I got my copy in the mail yesterday and read it straight through...which I would recommend to all of you ! Great characters and fast paced doesn't even describe it...I was on the edge of my lazy boy the whole time.
The plot was intricate, but notconfusing like some spy novels I have read
Have read all of his books, now await the next one. They are all a treat to read
