SLATE chooses THE LAST SUPPER by Charles McCarry as a Best Book of 2006

The great Witold Rybczynski chose THE LAST SUPPER by Charles McCarry for one of SLATE's BEST BOOKS OF 2006:

My favorite bedtime read this year was Charles McCarry's The Last Supper. This political thriller was actually written in 1986, but Overlook Press has been republishing his tales of Cold War espionage at the rate of one or two a year, so I guess it qualifies as "new." Like all the best spy novelists since Graham Greene, McCarry creates a world of his own. It helps some that he spent years in the CIA doing undercover work; it helps more that he's a very good storyteller.
