Ex-Reuters, 40 countries, 12 wars. 10 novels, one non-fiction work. Bad habit of writing books no-one wants to read except me. Allergic to Tories.

@custaro @thevetauthor Thanks, Pete L. As for mine, the 3-book Cold War series starting with Spy Game might be best. Also recommend Alma Katsu's Red Widow, and Joseph Weisberg's An Ordinary Spy. Like McCarry, they're both ex-CIA.

@spybrary Difficult...there are so many excellent books on espionage...possibly Roger Faligot's Chinese Spies or David E. Hoffman's The Billion Dollar Spy. Both broke new ground, both relied on massive research and both are well-written.
