Sympathy for the Devil
Terrence McCauley
"A fascinating, fast-paced spy thriller for the modern age. Equal parts techno-wizardry and old-school tradecraft." --Owen Laukkanen, Author of The Professionals
"Merges the brilliant old school spycraft of Charles Cumming and John Le Carre with the technology and contemporary feel of Alex Berenson." --Library Journal
"Sympathy for the Devil" is a home run. It's a thriller I read from cover to cover in one sitting." --Jeffrey Siger, Internationally Bestselling Author of the Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis Series.
Old War. New Enemies. The Devil Has Arrived.
The University has been a clandestine organization since the days of the OSS. The University and its agents have always lived in the shadows, using its vast intelligence resources to help defeat the Nazis, end the Cold War and strike back at terrorists all over the globe. They have been at the forefront of global espionage for decades. As an elite agent within The University, James Hicks is one of the most powerful--and most secretive--men alive. And it is all about to crumble.
When Hicks's brilliant protege is turned by a terrorist group that has already begun operating on U.S. soil, Hick finds himself in a race against time to find out just how the agent has been turned and why. He must use The University's covert global network to uncover a deadly biological plot that threatens to unleash a new era of chaos and anarchy not only on the United States but on the entire Western World. A fast-paced contemporary thriller that calls to mind classics like The Day of the Jackal and The Hunt for Red October, Terrence McCauley has crafted a riveting novel of espionage that will immediately raise him to the forefront of our very best spy novelists.
