Book 3 of 4 in the Meeting the Enemy sub-series
"Mai Fisher's mission is over. Alexei Bukharin is home, safe, even if his readjustment is sketchy. With the "war on terror" entering a new phase, Mai hopes to return to the Directorate and make a difference. However, the head of the Directorate, Nelson, still has the need for Mai's original undercover mission. So, it's back to the CIA as Chief of Staff Katherine Burke. The CIA wants to find Osama bin Laden. The Directorate wants to counter fake intelligence from the CIA designed to justify a war in Iraq. Mai discovers working for two spymasters, with treacherous politicians in the mix, is frustratingly inefficient and occasionally dangerous."
