Agent 57

"Agent 57" by Kathleen Leskey follows a team searching for Agent 77, Garrett, who holds vital information. Their pursuit leads them to discover that Agent 57 was the last person to possess this crucial intelligence. As they retrace Agent 57's final movements, they encounter Eliane, a civilian caught in the crossfire. Tasked with her protection, the team witnesses Thirteen's intense dislike for other women. This animosity escalates as Eliane grows closer to Cody, causing Thirteen to revert to her guarded demeanor. While Chase and Devin attribute this to jealousy, Jason suspects a deeper cause for Thirteen's anger. Thirteen attempts to expose Eliane's hidden complexities, only to be confronted by her past. The team, accustomed to Thirteen's secretive nature, grapples with her unexpected openness around certain individuals. They soon realize Thirteen possesses knowledge beyond what she has revealed, knowledge they desperately need. However, Thirteen’s refusal to share creates a dilemma, leaving them with only one other potential source for answers: Garrett himself.
