"Pass the popcorn!" AMAZON EDITORS' PICK! Vanessa Cronin, Sr. Editor"Brilliantly executed...these are first-class spy novels with a smart, gritty atmosphere." - CHARLES CUMMING, New York Times & Sunday Times Best-selling Author of KENNEDY 35 and BOX 88"There's nobody quite like Beckner.

"You don't just trade these people like they're baseball cards! It's not a game!" Tom Bishop exclaimed.

"That's exactly what it is and it's no kid's game either. This is a whole other game. And it's serious. And it's dangerous. And it's not one you want to lose," responded Nathan Muir.

With just 48 hours before the events of the classic movie Spy Game, Nathan Muir is about to witness his world falling apart. Who could possibly want to assassinate Charlie March? The original Cold War hero, mentor, brother, and confessor-in-chief to Nathan Muir, is the spy who came in from the cold and wrote a bestseller in the Florida sunshine. But when a bomb on his yacht puts Charlie March on ice, and his dying words implicate Muir, the CIA dispatches hard-luck Agency lawyer Russell Aiken to force Muir's confession and bury forty years of dirty secrets, by legal means or otherwise.

"A thinking man's thriller... A real adrenaline blast... I loved it!" praised ROBERT REDFORD, star of Spy Game.

The protégé Muir cast aside in favor of Tom Bishop, Aiken thirsts for payback, unaware that Muir launched a different kind of game for him and Bishop long ago, and Aiken has 24 hours to learn its rules, plays, and lethal stakes. Epic in scope, Muir's Gambit sweeps from the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir to Cyprus terror bombings, Congo coup d'états, Angolan proxy wars, and into the final hours of the Berlin Wall. And for two men untethered from morality, all those lies leave one final night for redemption.

"It's policy versus heart... Will challenge you in ways you haven't been challenged before," exclaimed TONY SCOTT, director of Spy Game.

Buy now and return to the world of Nathan Muir and Tom Bishop but be warned: in Spy Game "It's not how you play the game... It's how the game plays you."
