In her gripping debut novel, author Roselyn Teukolsky delivers a pulse-pounding thriller that blends academic politics, cutting-edge technology, and emotional depth. Set in the hallowed halls of Cornell University’s Computer Science Department, A Reluctant Spy follows a brilliant yet socially awkward programmer who is forced into the world of espionage after her husband’s suspicious death.
Madeline Geiger’s quiet life as a researcher is shattered when the FBI reveals that her late husband was working as a confidential informant, tracking a pornography ring using sophisticated encryption software. Now they want Madeline to take over the investigation. As she hacks into her colleagues’ systems in search of the truth, she discovers secrets that will shake the foundations of everything she believed: about her husband, her department, and herself.
Roselyn Teukolsky, a longtime educator and author of bestselling academic books, draws on her deep knowledge of computer science and academia to create a world that feels both intellectually rich and dangerously real. A Reluctant Spy explores themes of justice, betrayal, academic rivalry, and the moral ambiguity of doing the wrong thing for the right reasons.
“This story lives in the gray areas,” Teukolsky says. “It asks what we’re willing to risk when the truth is buried under layers of code, power, and fear.”
Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Tana French, and espionage thrillers with strong female leads, A Reluctant Spy is already earning praise for its intelligent plot, nuanced characters, and high-stakes tension.
The novel is now available on Amazon in both paperback and ebook formats.
