{"product_id":"9781641297141","title":"The Once and Future Spy","description":"By national bestselling author, Robert Littell, whose most recent novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Company\u003c\/i\u003e, received rave reviews across the nation, \u003ci\u003eThe Once and Future Spy\u003c\/i\u003e is finally back in print. This is Littell at the top of his form, constructing a tale of espionage and counterespionage that reveal the dirty tricks and dangerous secrets concerning the subjects he knows intimately-the CIA and American history, past and present. Littell proves beyond all doubt that he is a storyteller of inimitable caliber. As Stephen Coonts put it, \"Eric Ambler invented the modern spy novel. Robert Littell perfected it. \u003ci\u003eThe Once and Future Spy\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic spy story.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the center of Littell's plot is an elite plan, so secret and so dangerous that its existence is known only to a tiny group of specialists within CIA headquarters. There is virtually no paper trail-but somehow, the plan has sprung a leak. The plotters must urgently trace it-or face deadly consequences. Meanwhile, at work elsewhere on another highly sensitive project for \"the Company\" is an operative known as \"the Weeder\"-a man obsessed with American history and one of its heroes. When the Weeder's and Washington's clandestine worlds collide, the present faces the past and disturbing moral choices are weighed against a shining patriotic dream. What is the truth? Whose truth should be believed? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Extraordinarily inventive, breathtakingly imaginative, and relentlessly gripping, \u003ci\u003eThe Once and Future Spy\u003c\/i\u003e is easy to read, hard to put down. \u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: Robert Littell is the bestselling author of thirteen novels, which have been published in twelve languages around the world. His most recent, \u003ci\u003eThe Company\u003c\/i\u003e, will be published in paperback by Penguin this spring and is set for publication in 10 countries.
