"A riveting imagined world, so real in fact that one always wonders if it is imagined at all." —Scott Turow
Made restless by the tightening restrictions of CIA bureaucracy, agent Alan Taylor oversteps moral and legal bounds in a top-secret mission to destabilize the Soviet Union. His new recruit—the beautiful Anna Barnes, who struggles with complex feelings for Taylor—receives a deeper education than she signed up for in Ignatius' trademark world of secret agendas.As with the Ignatius book Firing Offense, I wish Id got a chance to read this book but when it arrived and I removed it from the shipping envelope, I was almost knocked over by the very strong stench of stale cigarette smoke. It made my nose burn and my eyes water. After handling the book for just a few minutes I needed to wash my hands thoroughly to get the terrible smell off them.
