"[...] never-before-told story of the thrilling hunt for a KGB
spy in the top ranks of the CIA, revealing how spies blinded
the US to the rise of Putin and Russia's dangerous future, from
New York Times bestselling author and former CIA officer Robert
Baer

"We think we know all the Cold War's greatest spy stories. The
tales of America's greatest traitors have been told over and
over. However, the biggest story of them all remains untold-
until now. Rumors have long swirled of another mole in American
intelligence, one perhaps more damaging than all the others
combined. Perhaps the greatest traitor in American history,
perhaps a Russian ruse to tear the CIA apart, or perhaps
nothing more than a bogeyman, he is often referred to as the
Fourth Man.

"Blowing the lid off the biggest spy story in decades, Robert
Baer tells the full, gripping story for the first time. After
arrest of KGB spy Aldrich Ames, the CIA launched another
investigation to make sure there wasn't another double agent in
its ranks. Led by three of the CIA's best spy hunters, women
who devoted their lives to counterintelligence, its existence
was known only to a few. They began methodically investigating
their own bosses and colleagues, turning up loose threads,
suspicious activity, and shocking intelligence from the CIA's
best Russian asset. In the end, they came to a startling
conclusion that, whether true or not, would shake American
intelligence to its core, setting the stage for a cat-and-mouse
game with enormous geopolitical stakes. Spies and moles may
seem like bygone cold war history, but with Russia again a
misunderstood belligerent power, the skeletons America would
rather keep hidden are emerging, and as Robert Baer shows in
this thrilling masterwork of investigative reporting, they
matter as much now as ever.
