This is NOT a Charlie Dark novel but it does contain many of the same support characters in the Dark series, including Dark's mutually hated supervisor, Myerson. It tells the tale of Miles Kendrig, a retired CIA agent who misses the excitement and decides to write a tell-all book that the CIA and KGB both want to destroy. It is mentioned here because to understand much of what Charlie Dark deals with, it is a good idea to learn more about his boss. Plus it is a terrific read as shown by its having won the Edgar Award for Best Novel.
