6/28/2023 0 Comments Defectors by Joseph KanonBut the chance to see Frank, his adored older brother, proves irresistible.Īnd at first Frank is still Frank-the same charm, the same jokes, the same bond of affection that transcends ideology. The book is sure to be filled with mischief and misinformation Frank's motives suspect, the CIA hostile. It's a reunion Simon both dreads and longs for. Now, twelve years later, he has written his memoirs, a KGB- approved project almost certain to be an international bestseller, and has asked his brother Simon, a publisher, to come to Moscow to edit the manuscript. In 1949, Frank Weeks, fair-haired boy of the newly formed CIA, was exposed as a Communist spy and fled the country to vanish behind the Iron Curtain. From the bestselling author of Leaving Berlin and The Good German comes a fast-paced and richly imagined novel about an American spy, the Cold War's most notorious defector, who gave up his country for the safety-and prison-of Moscow, but never lost his gift for betrayal.
