Fiction
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 Carré's
celebrated spy, George Smiley. But can Ferris trust him?
