The Milo Weaver series by Olen Steinhauer follows a CIA operative caught between loyalty, deception, and survival across six novels. Starting with The Tourist in 2009, the series tracks Weaver as he tries to leave fieldwork behind, only to be pulled back into the spy world by old enemies and institutional betrayal. The Nearest Exit and An American Spy continue his story, with The Last Tourist bringing the series up to 2020.

Steinhauer writes in the tradition of le Carre, with morally gray characters and plots driven more by bureaucratic maneuvering than by action sequences. Weaver is no action hero but a tired operative who understands that the real danger in espionage comes from the people on your own side.
