Synopsis

THE SPYMASTER is an electrifying novel of a remarkable man's public and private lives that is to the secret world of spydom what THE GODFATHER was to organized crime.

Vivian Thomas Jefferson Prescott-son of FDR's confidant, boyhood friend of Jack Kennedy, graduate of Yale, hero of WWII-is the Spymaster! From the murder of Reinhard Heydrich to the Bay of Pigs fiasco . . . from the McCarthy witch-hunts to the defection of Kim Philby . . . from the planned assassination of Fidel Castro to the actual assassinations of the Kennedy brothers . . . Viv Prescott is at the center of them all. As Director of the CIA, he is at the center of the storm that follows Watergate, when the Agency goes out of control and threatens to eaar the country asunder . . .

The Spymaster is also a man whose desire for one woman shrouds a profound and secret grief for another and whose life, like his country's, has been a torrent of surprise, betrayal, and heroic promise.
