±1±: Best Buy This book is a very different kind of novel. It doesn't have the blood and guts of most spy novels, but instead has a look at the true "intelligence" side of a covert CIA agent and his actions. I found the way they trained the Bulgarian, and what they used to uncover the "real story" of his subsequent actions absolutely fascinating. It also gives an insight into the life of CIA agents themselves. This book is a quick read - it'll sure hold your attention. on Sale!
