Second Sight - Softcover

Second Sight is a deliciously subtle and fulfilling novel, the end of a great river of loves more truth and emotion than any other spy novel of that large conspiratorial genre -- Richard Condon, author of The Manchurian Candidate McCarrys thrillers really thrill, his political insight is praised by senior politicians and his erudition, experience and good writing turn spy stories into literature. McCarry and his dynamic alter-egos wipe the floor with the opposition * The Daily Telegraph * The best spy novelists were once spies themselves, including le Carre, Greene, McCarry * New York Times Review of Books *

Spy Paul Christopher, now retired and living a normal life in Washington, is brought back into the Outfit when his old friend comes to him with a worrying development: someone is kidnapping U.S. agents and pumping them full of a new mind-control drug. It is up to Christopher to work out who is behind this insidious form of warfare and what the enemy is doing with the extracted information.
