The Strictest Rule
(2026)(The third book in the Clara Verona Cold War series)
A novel by Bowen Greenwood
A rogue CIA officer. A Soviet weapon. A conspiracy that stretches to the White House.
Miami, 1984. CIA officer Clara Verona should be recovering in a hospital bed after surviving a Soviet-engineered anthrax plot. Instead, she wakes to footsteps in the dark—and an assassin everyone insists is already dead.
Clara has two choices: obey orders and disappear into a classified bioweapons facility, or go rogue on American soil to save the man she loves. In a city awash in cocaine and violence, what began as attempted murder may end at the President himself. If Clara can’t find the truth in time, the entire free world may pay the price.
Genre: Thriller
