Buy this book
All right, you suspense and spy novel fans--and other fans of well-written recreational fiction--I have one for you: Operation Sheba.
It's only available electronically right now. If you don't have a Kindle or something, you can buy it in PDF. It's only $5.50; how can you go wrong? It'll be out in print in the spring, but you don't want to wait that long; by that time the cool kids will be ready for the next book from this new author (and it's already finished, so don't get behind).
I admit this publisher and their bookstore might have a slightly Harlequin romance-ish air about it, so in case you're thinking you're too cool for that, just ask yourself, "Has Perci ever steered me wrong? No...no, she hasn't." This is Misty Evans's first published novel, and new authors have to start somewhere, even when they're very talented and have written a well-researched book that not only entertains you but also makes you wonder how they know so much about the CIA.
Besides which, for the love of God, you can't subsist on a steady diet of books from the New York Times review list and the DWM* canon. You need mental dessert! I have degrees in English literature, and I read this book and liked it. So quit posing and go read Operation Sheba.

P.S. Okay, okay, Misty Evans is my sister-in-law, and that may or may not be her actual name. But listen, I read this book before recommending it. I enjoyed the story. A lot. If I thought it was lame, I wouldn't be posting it. You know me better than that.
