We are under an unprecedented attack.


Private investigator Alex Hoffmann has a clear mission: to identify and eliminate the deadliest enemy mastermind in history. She doesn’t know his name. She doesn’t know what he looks like. She only knows he’s Russian. The moment she learns more, it’s already too late. The timers are counting down.

This Russian’s plan doesn’t target a building, a person, or a city. His plan is targeting the future of the United States and its entire people, for decades to come.

She calls it the inconceivable scenario. Will she be able to stop him in time?

Alex Hoffmann returns as the heroine of Operation Sunset. Putting her life on the line and risking it all to hunt down the man who is threatening everything she cares about, Alex is uncompromising and resourceful, taking readers on a breathtaking roller coaster ride in this gripping, white-knuckled thriller.

Fans of Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Ian Fleming, and Lee Child will love Leslie Wolfe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edge of your seat
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023

It is quite a wearying thing to do sitting on the edge whilst reading Operation Sunset. Chairs just never seem so well padded on the edges...for obvious reasons. You are not supposed to sit on the edge of your chair. But reading Operation Sunset somehow makes that happening spontaneously.
After all, this book seems aptly titled, dealing with the end of the world after sunset.
Or rather, as planned by a Russian named Vasiliy Myatlev. This time he came up with a doozy. Something that will have the world shiver in a radiant nuclear winter.
If only he can get to a woman called Alex Hoffman first.
Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent novel - maybe a great movie
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016
Verified Purchase
I read and reviewed the first book in this series, "The Executive," and now having read all of them (at least so far published), I can enthusiastically endorse the whole collection for several reasons:
1. The main character, Alex Hofmann, is interesting, believable, and a refreshing new female "action hero" with a good mind and a good sense of morality and ethics (despite an appropriate willingness to bend and break the law in the service of "good").
2. The plot of this and the other books is a mixture of serious mystery, action, technically interesting nerdy stuff without too much detail, and a great story line.
3. The main character and all the secondary characters are believable and interestingly developed. Despite what might be certain aspects of the plot that would be implausible in real life, the decisions, doubts, and behavior of each character is believable.
4. The story is well-resolved at the end of each book - None of that cheap tricks stuff where the author cuts a single book into several and sells essentially a single book as a series.
5. The characters (especially Alex) and the plot linger a while after the book is finished. This suggests to me (after quickly forgetting many characters and plots from other novels I read) that this book, or this series, would make a great movie or action series.
6. Finally, I can't believe the author sells these novels for only 99 cents. I hope she is selling a lot of them, because she deserves to be well compensated for her creative work.
Happy reading. I strongly recommend "Operation Sunset" and each of the preceding Alex Hoffman novels.

An excellent conclusion to the 4 book set. Alex gets herself into more hot water with the guys in The Agency. Still running from the oligarch in Russia, she finally gets the clue she has waited for. With millions of lives in jeopardy, she makes a workable solution that will spare the planet from a nuclear holocaust.
She gets the face to face that she has been dreaming of with Mr V. It goes better than planned. A very happy conclusion to end the story.

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2017

Wonderful espionage novel, page turning with barely time to breath before falling asleep at night. Each night I had to re-synch my tablet and reread the last couple of pages to keep up. This novel involves an investigative agency who work with the CIA, the FBI and any other US governmental agency which might be involved with the Russians and Americans who are ever at the throats of the other. Our hero is actually our heroine. Even though there is a hint of romance there are no graphic descriptions thank God. I prefer the actual thing.

I only learned today that the author is a male writer which I much prefer as I had previously thought him to be a she. Forgive me Leslie. After all I have a brother (middle name) and a niece named Leslie and in the long ago I actually dated a British Leslie. I have learned that Leslie's writing if far superior to Patterson and some of the other authors mentioned and compared to. I have now purchased all of his books. Actually, the day after I finished Dawn Girl, the publisher contacted me and gave me an Amazon freebie. Wow! Thanks. I'm hooked!

This review covers the five books of the Alex Hoffman series by Leslie Wolf. In order, they are:- Executive, Devil’s Move, The Backup Asset, The Ghost Pattern, and Operation Sunset. I recommend reading them in this order to experience the incredible development of the heroine. I found the plot unusual, the characters well developed and very colorful, and the writing very good.

Another fantastic thriller from Leslie Wolfe, page turning suspense at its best. Alex and her crew are on the hunt for a man she only knows as V, a very cunning and dangerous russian who will stoop at nothing. A hunt for 14 nukes puts the whole enforcement department on a hunt through yellowstone, the nukes are ticking and time is running out. Action galore in this one. Highly recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars Will she save the US from devastation....?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 31, 2016

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, it is a very engaging thriller, based around 2 main characters, Alex, an agent for a secretive group, called just 'The Agency' which is normally engaged in anti corporate espionage activities, but Alex has been detecting an elusive mastermind behind several issues, but initially she doesn't know who it is, only that he is Russian. On the other side Vitaliy Myatlev is a Russian businessman and billionaire, who works for the Russian President, and has been tasked with engaging with the Americans in war to restore Russia to what he sees as its rightful place as the greatest country on the planet. Myatlev has been foiled by Alex, but again he doesn't know who his foe is, just that a woman keeps upsetting his plans. Myatlev has his own agenda though, he wants to basically own the world, and is using all his and Russia's resources to destroy America and lay waste to the land.
The book tells the story at breakneck speed, with successes and failures on both sides, building to a superb climax with a confrontation between the 2 main players, it is real edge of the seat writing and kept me enthralled for the entire time that I was reading it.
I did receive a free copy of this book from the author in return for a review. But I would recommend it anyway, a great exciting thriller, sitting very happily alongside works by Lee Child, Dan Brown and Clive Cussler.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alex vs. V - der (nukleare) Showdown
Reviewed in Germany on July 1, 2016

Da bereits 'The Backup Asset' und 'The Ghost Pattern' gute und spannende Unterhaltung waren, habe ich bereits mit Vorfreude auf 'Operation Sunset' gewartet. In diesem Thriller kommt es nun zum endgültigen (nuklearen) Showdown zwischen dem Ermittlerteam um Alex Hoffman und dem russischen Super-Terroristen V.

Ein unerwarteter und heftiger Vulkanausbruch, der 20.000 Menschen das Leben kostet, setzt Nachforschungen von Alex in Gang, in deren Verlauf sie einem weiterem gewaltigen Komplott des Terroristen V sukzessive auf die Spur kommt und es beginnt ein verzweifelter Wettlauf mit der Zeit, da der USA nichts weniger als die existenzielle Vernichtung ihrer Lebensgrundlage droht. Mehr will ich hier von der Handlung auch gar nicth verraten, um keine Spannung zu verderben und entcheidende Handlung zu verraten.

Wie immer trägt die Autorin sehr dick im Stile eines Hollywood-Streifens auf und die Rollen zwischen Gut und Böse sind klar verteilt. Es kommt im Laufe des Buches die ganze Palette von CIA, FBI, Armee sowie weitere Sicherheitsbehörden zum Einsatz Manchmal wäre in der Handlung hier und dort ein paar Nuancierungen und Differenzierungen für meinen Geschmack ganz schön, aber dieses Buch soll in erster für spannende Unterhaltung sorgen und das tut es auch. So lebt das Buch primär von diesem fundamentalen und absoluten Konflikt zwischen Gut und Böse, die von Alex und V sozusagen in Reinform personfiziert werden und in dessen Verlauf alles auf den Großen Showdown hinausläuft, bei dem es um die Zukunft einer ganze Nation geht.

Spannender und unterhaltsamer Thriller rund um das Thema Nuklearterrorismus, der ganz im US-amerikanischen Stile dickt aufträgt, und in einem großen Showdown um die Zukunft der Nation endet.
