This action packed thriller was non-fiction and made me examine a different point of view that I've ever thought of. I highly recommend it to spy thriller-readers and those of us who like non-fiction. There is a sensation at times in the middle of the book to panic for the little boy and misunderstand why he's so bratty, but in the end, I felt everything resolved in a way that made sense. I spoke with a friend whose Dad had been an agent and she said it was pretty much factual, she thinks.
