O knihe
The unintended consequences of acing a test . . . or when all else fails, try blackmail
In July of 1964, after marrying in Paris, Desirée and Scott Stoddard are honeymooning in the South of France when their idyll is interrupted by a notice from Scott's draft board advising him that his status is being reviewed. Desirée, the former French countess who is already three months pregnant, doesn't understand why her new husband, an American, must traipse off to some military base in Germany to be tested.
Scott's remarkable scores on the tests attract the attention of the CIA, and Scott, much to his dismay, becomes part of their world of intrigue and deceit. How can he get back to the life that he and Desirée had envisioned? When all else fails, blackmail is the answer.
A Spy with Scruples plunges readers into the complicated political world of Cold War Europe. From neutral Switzerland to the aristocratic salons of Paris to bombed-out Berlin, Scott ingratiates some and offends more. But he has a plan.
