Описание: For fans of Alan Furst and John le Carr comes An Honorable Man, a chilling Cold War spy thriller set in postwar Washington, DC that Kirkus Reviews called, "noir to the bone."

Washington DC, 1953. The Cold War is heating up; McCarthyism, in all its fear and demagoguery, is raging in the nation's capital, and Joseph Stalin's death has left a dangerous power vacuum in the Soviet Union.

The CIA, meanwhile, is reeling from the discovery of a double agent within their midst. Someone is selling secrets to the Soviets, compromising missions and endangering lives around the globe. The CIA director knows any news of the traitor, whose code name is Protocol, would be a national embarrassment and weaken the entire agency. He assembles an elite team to find Protocol.

George Mueller seems to be the perfect man to help the investigation: Yale-educated; extensive experience running missions in Eastern Europe; an operative so dedicated to his job that it left his marriage in tatters. Mueller, though, has secrets of his own, and as he digs deeper into the case, making contact with a Soviet agent, suspicion begins to fall on him, as well. Paranoia and fear spreads and until Protocol is found, no one can be trusted.

Описание:
With the release of the Rockefeller Commission report on illegal CIA activities in 1975, and its disclosure that Wilson was unwittingly given LSD a week before his death, the Wilson case suddenly becomes news again. Wilson's family and the press demand answers, especially as they come to suspect the CIA of foul play, and it becomes clear that people in the CIA, FBI, and White House will do anything to make sure the truth doesn't get out.

Enter agent Jack Gabriel, an old friend of the Wilson family who is instructed by the CIA director to find out what really happened to Wilson. It's Gabriel's last mission before he retires from the agency, and his most perilous. He discovers that complicity in a continuing cover-up reaches to the highest levels of government, and when key witnesses connected to the case die from suspicious causes, Gabriel realizes that the closer he gets to the truth, the more he puts himself and his entire family at risk.

Following in the footsteps of spy fiction greats like Graham Green, John Le Carr , and Alan Furst, Paul Vidich presents a tale--based on the unbelievable true story told in Netflix's Wormwood--that doesn't shy away from the true darkness in the shadows of espionage.
