This week marks the triumphant return of the famed Paul Christopher in his first (and possibly last) adventure. Christopher's Ghosts serves as both a prequel and a coda to Christopher's legendary and troubled career and extends the reach of the Christopher family through all the major events of the late Twentieth Century. Order your copy today. Charles McCarry will be reading and signing at Politics and Prose in Washington DC June 15th.
"Effectively a prequel to McCarry's series of outstanding novels featuring master spy Paul Christopher this exciting tale presents the prolog and denouement-two periods separated by 20 haunted years-of one of CIA agent Christopher's most dramatic career problems....The book has much to recommend it: the prose is elegantly literate, the plot unfolds clearly, the characters are drawn in satisfying detail, the transitions are graceful, the sense of place and time is strong, and the "tradecraft" is as authentic as circumstances permit."--Library Journal
"Veteran McCarry remains a compelling storyteller, as shown in his latest spy thriller, which chronicles the early career of his series hero, Paul Christopher....The book speeds toward a satisfying, inevitable conclusion."--Publishers Weekly
"McCarry takes the story of his recurring master spy Paul Christopher back to its wildly romantic beginning....[He] remains at the top of his game."--Kirkus Reviews
