46:06Now PlayingWatch author Brittany Butler discuss "The Patriot's Daughter" at Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C.
Democracy is fracturing—and one woman may hold the key to saving it.
This electrifying new thriller from former CIA officer and TikTok sensation Brittany Butler is the perfect geopolitical thriller for fans of David McCloskey and Alma Katsu.
Brittany Butler is a former CIA targeting officer with years of experience recruiting spies and dismantling terrorist networks overseas. She brings rare authenticity to her fiction, drawing on her time in the field to illuminate the moral complexities of espionage. Her debut novel, The Syndicate Spy, explores how female operatives navigate religious and cultural divides to fight for peace. Brittany lives by the ocean with her husband, their three sons, and their beloved dog, Gus.
Butler is in conversation with I.S. Berry, who spent six years as an operations officer for the CIA, serving in wartime Baghdad and elsewhere. She has lived and worked throughout Europe and the Middle East, including two years in Bahrain during the Arab Spring. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law and Haverford College. Raised in the suburbs of Washington, DC, she lives in Virginia with her husband and son.
