Redemption : a novel / by Lawson, Michael,1948-author.;
"With his reputation permanently marred by an insider trading conviction, Jamison Maddox, a young Wall Street broker, reluctantly takes a job with Drexler Limited in sleepy Redemption, Illinois. Drexler Limited is run with an iron fist by a man named Claud Drexler, who tells Jamison that the company mostly does financial research for select clients. Jamison is surprised that an outfit that merely does corporate research has such elaborate security measures and that there's an information firewall between the lower-level employees like him and the company's managers; he's not even allowed to know the names of the clients he's supposedly doing research for. When he falls in love with a beautiful and enigmatic colleague, Gillian Lang, one of Claud's most trusted employees, he learns that Drexler Limited is engaged in wide-ranging illegal activities. So, when Gillian asks him to run away with her so she can be free of Claud and her cold-hearted husband, he agrees despite her warning that their lives will be danger. And about this, Gillian is telling the truth. A trio of well-trained killers pursues them across the country with the single-minded goal of silencing them forever. But Jamison has no idea that his lover, a stunning woman shrouded in mystery, is as dangerous as the people he's running from, nor does he understand her true relationship to Claud Drexler or what Drexler Limited really does"--

Precipice / by Harris, Robert,1957-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Summer 1914. A world on the brink of catastrophe. In London, twenty-six-year-old Venetia Stanley--aristocratic, clever, bored, reckless--is part of a fast group of upper-crust bohemians and socialites known as "The Coterie." She's also engaged in a clandestine love affair with the Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith, a man more than twice her age. He writes to her obsessively, sharing the most sensitive matters of state. As Asquith reluctantly leads the country into war with Germany, a young intelligence officer with Scotland Yard is assigned to investigate a leak of top-secret documents. Suddenly, what was a sexual intrigue becomes a matter of national security that could topple the British government--and will alter the course of political history."--

Good hunting : an American spymaster's story / by Devine, Jack,1940-; Loeb, Vernon.;
"A master class in spycraft from one of its greatest practitioners. Jack Devine is one of the legendary spymasters of our time. He was in Chile when Allende fell; he ran Charlie Wilson's war in Afghanistan; he had too much to do with Iran-Contra for his own taste, though he tried to stop it; he caught Pablo Escobar in Colombia; he tried to warn George Tenet that there was a bullet coming from Iraq with his name on it. Devine served America's interests for more than thirty years in a wide range of covert operations, ultimately overseeing the Directorate of Operations, a CIA division that watches over thousands of American covert operatives worldwide. Good Hunting is his guide to the art of spycraft, told with great wit, candor, and commonsense wisdom. Caricatured by Hollywood, lionized by the right, and pilloried by the left, the CIA remains one of the least understood instruments of the United States government. Devine knows more than almost anyone about the CIA's vital importance as a tool of American statecraft. Now, as he sees it, the agency is trapped within a larger bureaucracy, losing swaths of turf to the military and, most ominous of all, being transformed into a paramilitary organization. Its capacity to do what it does best has been seriously degraded. In wonderfully readable prose, Good Hunting aims to set the record straight. This is a revelatory inside look at an organization whose history has not been given its real due"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-306) and index.1.
