Praise for the book
“I feel safe in predicting that this atmospheric, authoritative spy tale by retired CIA officer-turned-novelist Lucy Kirk will emerge as one of the best debut thrillers BookTrib will review in 2022.” —Dennis Hetzel, Book Trib
“The author is a woman who has served our country and now allows us to see the particulars. You will not forget clever Decky and her mission. Exciting!”
“The Poison Factory is a well-written and fast-paced spy novel. Kirk’s thirty-plus-years experience in the CIA gives her story credibility. The Russians really have been accused of poisoning a number of defectors in the UK. Some in the intelligence world think females make better spies and I am sure Lucy was one of them.”
“This book is terrific. It’s a page-turner that I couldn’t put down. An adventure! I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading a great story.”
