Alex Berenson’s standalone fiction includes The Power Couple (2021), a thriller set outside the John Wells universe. The novel follows an American couple whose marriage secrets emerge during a trip to Europe.
The Power Couple centers on Brian and Rebecca Unsworth, a wealthy Washington couple vacationing in Barcelona with their daughter. When the daughter disappears, Brian and Rebecca must confront the lies they have been hiding from each other. The novel trades Berenson’s usual spy fiction territory for domestic suspense with an international backdrop.
Berenson is best known for his twelve-book John Wells spy series, which started with The Faithful Spy in 2006. The Power Couple shows a different register for his writing, with less geopolitics and more focus on a marriage under pressure. It remains his only standalone novel to date.
