In The Faithful Spy, John Wells became the only American CIA agent ever to penetrate al-Qaeda, but his handlers became distrustful of him, and he of them. He had to stop a devastating terrorist attack nearly alone.

In Ghost War, the CIA finds evidence of a surge in Taliban activity, backed by an unknown foreign power, and convinces Wells to return to Afghanistan to investigate. What he discovered there was far from what he expected.

Now in Silent Man, Berenson's exciting John Wells saga is continued.
