Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Red Sparrow is an espionage thriller novel written by ex-CIA officer Jason Matthews. The novel was published in 2013, and was followed by a sequel, titled Palace of Treason, in 2015. A third book, The Kremlin's Candidate, was released in 2018, concluding the trilogy.In today's Russia, dominated by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, state intelligence officer Dominika Egorova struggles to survive in the cast-iron bureaucracy of post-Soviet intelligence. Drafted against her will to become a "Sparrow," a trained seductress in the service, Dominika is assigned to operate against Nathaniel Nash, a first-tour CIA officer who handles the CIA's most sensitive penetration of Russian intelligence. The two young intelligence officers, trained in their respective spy schools, collide in a charged atmosphere of tradecraft, deception, and inevitably, a forbidden spiral of carnal attraction that threatens their careers and the security of America's valuable mole in Moscow. Seeking revenge against her soulless masters, Dominika begins a fatal double life, recruited by the CIA to ferret out a high-level traitor in Washington; hunt down a Russian illegal buried deep in the U.S. military and, against all odds, to return to Moscow as the new-generation penetration of Putin's intelligence service.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A film adaptation of Red Sparrow was released in 2018 starring Jennifer Lawrence as Dominika Egorova, to be followed by the release of the last book in the trilogy.

The Bad Guy Wins: The Russians manage to get Dominika back after she exposes Korchnoi as the SVR mole they have been hunting down throughout the novel. Meanwhile, the Americans are left with the body of Korchnoi, who is assassinated after he and Dominika have been exchanged for one another by the CIA and SVR. The novel leaves uncertain whether Dominika has agreed to continue Korchnoi's work for the Americans, or is bent on leaving the spy life behind; her decision is only revealed at the start of the sequel, Palace of Treason. | |

Author Appeal: Jason Matthews appears to be a real foodie, as every chapter of his novels, except for the final chapters, end with a recipe for a food item that was mentioned within the chapter. Said recipes are, however, only a set of instructions, and do not include quantities of ingredients. | |
