Marley's Lover

First published in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, April 2015. Also published in the collection The Spy Who Knew Nothing.
To the powers that be in the CIA, there was no doubt that 20 years ago the man named Osler was a spy in France passing on intel to the Soviet but what they could never figure out was how he got the data to them. Now that his widowed wife was coming back to the States after so long, the Director asks long retired Charles Marley to strike up a conversation and maybe seduce the truth out of her.
