Description
Roger Ferris is one of the CIA's soldiers in the war on terrorism. He has come out of Iraq with a shattered leg and an intense mission-to penetrate the network of a master terrorist known only as "Suleiman." Ferris's plan for getting inside Suleiman's tent is inspired by a masterpiece of British intelligence during World War II: He prepares a body of lies, literally the corpse of an imaginary CIA officer who appears to have accomplished the impossible by recruiting an agent within the enemy's ranks. This scheme binds friend and foe in a web of extraordinary subtlety and complexity, and when it begins to unravel, Ferris finds himself flying blind into a hurricane. His only hope is the urbane head of Jordan's intelligence service-a man who might be an Arab version of John le Carre's celebrated spy, George Smiley. But can Ferris trust him?

Starred review from February 12, 2007
Displaying his trademark expertise and writing skill, Washington Post
columnist Ignatius (Agents of Innocence
) has crafted one of the best post-9/11 spy thrillers yet. Subtly framing a highly elaborate plot, Ignatius tells the story of idealistic CIA agent Roger Ferris, newly stationed in Jordan after being wounded in Iraq. After a failed initiative to flush out a terrorist mastermind known as Suleiman, Ferris, who's dedicated to forestalling further al-Qaeda attacks, develops an intricate scheme modeled after a British plan used successfully against the Nazis. Ferris's plot to turn the terrorists against each other by sowing seeds of suspicion that their leaders are collaborating with the Americans puts his personal life in turmoil and threatens his professional relationship with the head of Jordanian intelligence. Few readers will anticipate the jaw-dropping conclusion, and the pairing of first-rate espionage suspense with fully developed characters should propel this onto the bestseller lists and possibly attract Hollywood interest. Author tour.

- content: When Dick Hill narrates a book that is elegantly crafted, with a challenging plot and fascinating characters, listeners are in for a treat. The politics of the Middle East after 9/11 form the backdrop as CIA Agent Roger Ferris hunts for a wily Al Qaeda fanatic known as Suleiman. Ferris has a plan that will cause Suleiman's terrorist organization to self-destruct. David Ignatius, a columnist for The Washington Post, draws contemporary scenarios that might happen tomorrow, as well as utterly believable, complex villains and heroes. While Ignatius's women characters don't ring true, offering little more than arm candy for the men, Hill's performances, from that of Near East CIA Chief Ed Hoffman to Jordanian spy Hani Salaam, add dimension, subtlety, shading, and a master narrator's finesse to the work as a whole.
