From the #1 New York Timesā and Wall Street Journalābestselling author comes the dramatic second adventure in the brand-new Clandestine Operations series about the Cold War, the fledgling Central Intelligence Agencyāand a new breed of warrior.
James Cronley thought he had done wellāhe didnāt know heād done this well.
His first successful mission for the about-to-be-official new Central Intelligence Directorate has drawn all kinds of attention, some welcome, some not. On the plus side, heās now a captain; promoted to Chief, DCI, Europe; and in charge of a top secret spy operation. On the minus side, a lot of people would like to know about that operation, including not only the Soviets, but his own Pentagon, and even a seething J. Edgar Hoover.
Cronley knows that if just one thing goes wrong, heās likely to get thrown to the wolves. As if that werenāt enough pressure, complications are springing up on all sides. Heās discovered a surprising alliance between the former German intelligence chief and, of all things, the Mossad. A German family that Cronley never knew he had has suddenly, and suspiciously, emerged. And heās due for a rendezvous with an undercover agent against the Soviets known only as Seven K.
Itās when he meets Seven K that he gets the real surprise.
