Ex-CIA Agent writes of sex, survival, and surveillance.

An ex-CIA and Federal Agent has written an excellent fictional book about Government spying using techniques that only a real Agency field agent can know about. Philip Eliot writes about what he knows best: black bag jobs. He develops several CIA characters that interact and react in a realistic way when confronted with lying, deceit, and spying by foreign countries. These agents use state of the art spy equipment to expose a potential "mole" in the U.S. Government. The agents have to travel around the world and expose themselves to great danger in order to uncover the truth. This is no James Bond book. The plot and characters are plausible and the technology used is cutting edge. For a look into the real world of clandestine B and E (breaking and entering) and surveillance then this is the book for you. The CIA Prepublication review board even found some of the book too "real".
