Frederick Forsyth takes us deeper than ever into secret corridors of power to tell the riveting story of a modern spymaster fighting to save his career. His name is Sam McCready and for years he has been the Deceiver.
As an intrepid and inventive field agent, McCready's independent style has often driven him beyond the rules. He has not been afraid to press the CIA to the explosion point - or to play cat-and-mouse with the KGB. He has successfully tricked Qaddafi and the IRA and once even set himself up as governor of a remote Caribbean island torn betwen Fidel Castro and the Colombian drug trade.
Bestselling author Frederick Forsyth follows the success of his latest work, The Negotiator, with this major thriller rich in color and suspense. Longtime British Intelligence operative Sam McCready must recount the most intricate cases of his career at a credibility hearing, after he is abruptly handed his walking papers. "A rolling good read".--New York Times Book Review.
