The Book of Spies (by Gayle Lynds) app for iPhone and iPad

The Book of Spies by Gayle Lynds (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

Imprisoned for a drunk-driving accident that killed her husband, Eva Blake, a rare-book expert, is freed by the CIA in return for her help in finding the Library of Gold, a legendary collection of books thought to be lost to the world.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audios Earphones Award-winning narrator Kate Reading. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Kate Reading wrings every last drop of drama from the story…[she] keeps her audience enraptured.” (Publishers Weekly)

Eva Blake, a rare-book expert and conservator, was imprisoned for a drunk-driving accident that she doesn’t remember—one that resulted in the death of her husband, an even more famous rare-book expert. She is freed from prison by CIA undercover agent Tucker Andersen in exchange for her help and expertise on the Library of Gold, a legendary collection of books lost to the world for over a century. Sent to an exhibit on the Library of Gold at the British Museum, Eva sees the one person she never expected to see again: her dead husband, Charles. After Charles first flees, then tries to kill her, Eva finds herself in the midst of several powerful, secret forces who either want her dead or want to use her to find the missing Library of Gold. The only person unequivocally on her side is Judd Ryder, who is seeking the people responsible for his father’s death.
