There’s a Russian mole in the highest levels of the White House. An FBI agent tries to uncover who among his superiors is compromised — up to and including the occupant of the Oval Office.

It’s not the latest plot twist of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. It’s the plot of San Diego author Matthew Quirk’s new novel, “The Night Agent.”

Quirk is a San Diego-based New York Times-bestselling author. Before becoming a novelist, he spent five years reporting for The Atlantic about crime, terrorism and international gangs.
