"Charles McCarry is the best modern writer on the subject of intrigue," wrote P.J. O'Rourke and Time Magazine has declared that "there is no better American spy novelist." McCarry's first book, The Miernik Dossier, originally published in 1973, is a riveting and imaginative tale in which a small group of international agents embark on a car trip in a Cadillac, from Switzerland to the Sudan.

Related as a collection of dossier notes written by the five characters, the novel reveals a complicated web in which each spins his or her own deception: each is a spider, and each is a spy...and the Miernik Dossier is a thorough-going masterpiece.
