  In this espionage classic by the New York Times bestselling author of The Company, two CIA operatives—one with something to hide, the other with something to prove—face off when a top-secret scheme is exposed. 
   
   
   
  The most elite levels of the CIA's Counterintelligence unit are on the verge of pulling off an operation so huge it will change global politics—and so secret that it has no paper trail. But the operation's organizer, Roger Wanamaker, has evidence that the plan has sprung a leak. Now it is a deadly race against time to "walk back the cat"—isolate the leak and plug it—before the scheme is exposed and an international conflict is ignited. 
   
   
   
  Meanwhile analyst Silas Sibley—nicknamed "The Weeder" due to his talent for parsing intelligence with experimental computer technology—has uncovered information no one was ever meant to find. Now he has to decide what to do with it: expose the unfolding atrocity, even if it means cutting the knees out from the intelligence agency he works for and has, up until now, believed in? Or is there some other solution? Clinging fiercely to the legacy of his ancestor American Revolutionary war hero Nathan Hale, the Weeder takes matters into his own hands. Surprising and complex, this psychological deep dive into obsession, loyalty, and history, poses the question: Whose truth should be believed?

  A single phone call shatters the quiet life of a man who has spent years outrunning his past. The voice on the other end knows a secret he thought was buried forever, a sin from his youth that cost a life. Now, the caller demands a simple, horrifying trade: a new victim, or the truth will be exposed, destroying everything he has built. 
  As the clock ticks, the rules of the deadly game shift with each ring of his phone. The faceless tormentor, who calls himself The Keeper, forces him into a labyrinth of impossible choices, surveilling his every move and implicating him in a fresh wave of violence. The police, led by a suspicious detective, begin to close in, seeing him not as a pawn but as the prime suspect. To survive, he must navigate a web of old friends, bitter enemies, and his own fractured memories to uncover the identity of the man pulling the strings. 
  But the deeper he digs, the more he questions his own innocence. Is he being hunted by a monster, or is the monster a part of him he has long denied? To stop the killings, he must confront the darkest corners of his own soul and decide what he is truly willing to sacrifice for redemption.
