The author specializes in CIA stories from the distant past that are based on actual events. In this novel, a double agent is suspected, and the CIA is desperately trying to find him in DC in 1953. He had been recruited in Europe after WWII and the Soviets deftly try to change the focus of the US investigation. Interestingly, the book explores the growing pains of the agency, its founding with the veterans of the OSS and its competition with the established and much more powerful FBI.
