New paperback edition - From a New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer- nominated journalist, the recently de-classified story of the Cold War spies who changed the world.
The New York Times bestselling author returns with a tale as riveting and suspenseful as any thriller: the true story of the Nazi plot to kill the leaders of the United States, Great Britain, and the U.S.S.R. during World War II
A retired spy reenters the world of espionage to solve a perplexing case and mend his relationship with his daughter, a CIA officer married into the family that derailed his career. This true-life tale of vindication and redemption is filled with drama, intrigue, and mystery. On a sunny September morning in 1978, a sloop drifts across the Chesapeake Bay, revealing signs of struggle and classified documents, but the owner, former CIA officer John Paisley, is missing. Tennent "Pete" Bagley, once a rising star in the CIA, suspected a mole within the agency and was wrongfully accused himself. After a year-long investigation, he was exonerated, but the scandal tarnished his reputation. The situation worsened when his daughter Christina married an intelligence officer whose father was pivotal in Bagley’s investigation, causing a painful rift. Following Paisley's mysterious death—whether murder, suicide, or something else—Pete embarks on an investigation that intertwines with his past and his quest for the mole. This relentless pursuit not only seeks to unravel a complex spy story but also serves as an inspiring journey of a man reclaiming his reputation and family, culminating in a shocking conclusion.
