Spy Lie Die

CONSPIRACY RAMPANT OLD SPY. Hardison McIntyre; Patrician, patriot, decorated soldier, think-tank founder, confidante of presidents, sworn Kremlin adversary. After 40 years, still hoarding secrets and pulling Cold War strings. BOLD SPY. Jay Handy. Ubiquitous Army captain, in uniform and out. Down Leningrad alleys. Behind the scenes at Yalta. In back-stairs White House meetings. Illusive, Machiavellian, his most serpentine deceptions take wing in the Armageddon of post-war Berlin. USED SPY. John Krentz. Army officer on the rise. Stellar interpreter fluent in Russian, German, Czech. From sensitive security assignments in Berlin, Moscow and Washington, he spies on Allies, consorts with Russians, always keeping his own counsel. Whose agent is he? NEW SPY Ben Oliver. Often psychic journalist. One-time counterintelligence agent with a photographic memory and a knack for mining sources and connecting the dots. Can he unravel a subterranean conspiracy on the eve of the Cuban Missile Crisis, or is it best left buried? From the blood-soaked aftermath of the Russian Revolution through the occupation of a shattered Berlin to the nuclear-edged precipice of a U.S.-Soviet confrontation, a meticulously crafted and seductive scheme unfolds, drawing two presidents, Moscow power players, innocent bystanders and guilty accomplices into its abyss. Revenge, loyalty, rivalry, ambition and love are disguised and distorted until, in a deadly moment, four formidable spies converge to unravel the conspiracy's byzantine core...but are they in time to end the treacherous cycle? Or will it begin anew?
