Book Description
In Blow the House Down, Robert Baer, who worked for the CIA’s Directorate of Information, and whose memoir See No Evil was the basis for the movie Syriana, offers a convoluted, fast-moving narrative of deceit, deception, and bureaucratic ineptitude. Brought in from the field by his bosses to languish at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, in early 2000, Max Waller uses his time to investigate the death of his mentor a decade and a half before, a search that takes him from one of the world’s hot spots to another, culminating in a discovery that ties directly into the horrific events of September 11, 2001. If you like your thrillers laced with a large dose of reality, don’t miss this first novel.
