Más información sobre el libro

In 1988, Florida-based FBI agent Joe Navarro balances SWAT duties, air reconnaissance, and counter-intelligence work. Renowned for his body-language expertise, he has a reputation for being intensely dedicated, often burning out partners. Eager for an assignment that will catch the attention of FBI leadership, Navarro's routine changes when he interviews Rod Ramsay, a former soldier linked to another soldier, Clyde Conrad, recently arrested as a traitor in Germany. Noticing a tic in Ramsay's hand at the mention of Conrad, Navarro suspects something amiss and pushes for an investigation. What unfolds is a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse between Navarro and Ramsay, a traitor selling secrets to the Soviets. To extract the full extent of Ramsay's betrayal, Navarro meticulously choreographs each interrogation, as Ramsay possesses an exceptionally high IQ, making him a formidable opponent. This battle of wits occurs during a tumultuous period marked by the decline of the Eastern Bloc and the looming threat of war, as Soviet leaders consider drastic measures to change the course of history. Over nearly fifty intense interviews, Navarro uncovers the devastating impact of Ramsay's actions, revealing the secrets that could have led to catastrophic consequences for America and its allies. This account details the exposure of one of the most damaging espionage rings in U.S. history.
