In the first weeks after World War II, a squeaky-clean new
second lieutenant named James D. Cronley Jr. is spotted and
recruited for a new enterprise that will eventually be
transformed into something called the CIA. One war may have
ended, but another one has already begun, against an enemy
that is bigger, smarter, and more vicious: the Soviet Union.
The Soviets have hit the ground running, and Cronley’s job
is to help frustrate them, harass them, and spy on them any
way he can. His recruiter thinks he has the potential to
become an asset—though, of course, he could also screw up
spectacularly. And in his first assignment, it looks like
that’s exactly what might happen. He’s got seven days to
extract a vital piece of information from a Soviet agent,
but Cronley’s managed to rile up his superior officers (he
seems to have a talent for it), and if he fails, it could be
one of the shortest intelligence careers in history.
There are enemies everywhere—and, as Cronley is about to
find out, some of them even wear the same uniform he does.
