And at first Frank is still Frank-the same charm, the same jokes, the same bond of affection that transcends ideology. But the chance to see Frank, his adored older brother, proves irresistible. The book is sure to be filled with mischief and misinformation Frank’s motives suspect, the CIA hostile. It’s a reunion Simon both dreads and longs for. Now, twelve years later, he has written his memoirs, a KGB- approved project almost certain to be an international bestseller, and has asked his brother Simon, a publisher, to come to Moscow to edit the manuscript. In 1949, Frank Weeks, agent of the newly formed CIA, was exposed as a Communist spy and fled the country to vanish behind the Iron Curtain. The bestselling author of Leaving Berlin and Istanbul Passage “continues to demonstrate that he is up there with the very best.of spy thriller writers” ( The Times, UK) with this “fascinating” ( The Washington Post) novel about two brothers bound by blood but divided by loyalty.
