Book Overview

From master of espionage thriller and bestselling author of The Company Robert Littell, a spy classic following two once-legendary but still lethal CIA agents at the height of the Cold War, as they manipulate a KGB assassin into executing an international scheme on their behalf.

Legendary CIA agents Francis and Carroll were once called "the Sisters Death and Night" by their colleagues. As the duo approaches retirement, some within the Company say that they are past their prime. To shift the balance of power in America's favor at the height of the Cold War, Francis and Carroll hatch a plan worthy of their former triumphs: awaken an infamous KGB assassin thought to be living in New York and trick him into implementing their master plot to assassinate the president of the United States.

They first deceive the Potter, former head of the KGB, into revealing the identity of his most notorious student. After realizing that he has betrayed his best sleeper agent, the Potter races to stop his protégé from committing the Sisters' operation.

Praised for having "the plot of plots" by the New York Times, The Sisters is a spy classic swirling with brilliant puzzles, shocking double-crosses, and resonant questions about ideology.
