This month's title is Red Widow by Alma Katsu

An exhilarating spy thriller about two CIA agents who become intertwined with a threat to the Russia Division—one that's coming from inside the agency.  Lyndsey Duncan worries her career with the CIA might be over.  After lines are crossed with another intelligence agent during her most recent assignment, she is sent home to Washington on administrative leave.  When a former colleague, now Chief of the Russia Division, recruits her for an internal investigation, she jumps at the chance to prove herself once more.  Meanwhile, fellow agent Theresa Warner can't avoid the spotlight.  She is the infamous "Red Widow," the wife of a former director killed in the field under mysterious circumstances.  Theresa is a fixture of the Russia Division, and as she and Lyndsey strike up an unusual friendship, her knowledge proves invaluable.  But as Lyndsey uncovers a surprising connection to Theresa that could answer all of her questions, she exposes a terrifying web of secrets within the department, if only she is willing to unravel it...
