Product Description

In the murky world of espionage, where shadowy intelligence operatives struggle against one another to gain tactical advantage, things can often go very, very wrong. This is one such story. Told by a former master CIA spy, truth is woven with fiction to create a gripping yet authentic action packed tale of real intelligence operatives at war. From Somalia, to Ethiopia, to Hong Kong, to Paris, we follow the path of CIA case officer "Mac" MacMurphy as he uncovers an intricate Iranian plot to draw China into a terrorist alliance against America. But when organizational inertia within the CIA hierarchy disrupts his operational plans, he must resort to unconventional methods to achieve his goals. The unintended consequences of his actions pits MacMurphy against an unstable Chinese case officer in a gritty crescendo of action where only one will survive.

Joseph C. Goulden -- Washington Times "Too many spy novels are written by those with little real-world espionage knowledge or experience. Fred Rustmann, a career CIA operations officer, steps out of the shadows in The Case Officer, a book steeped in tra
