The cabin reveals signs of a struggle, and \"classified\" documents, live 9 mm cartridges, and a top-secret \"burst\" satellite communications transmitter are discovered aboard. But where is the boat's owner, former CIA officer John Paisley? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne man may hold the key to finding out. Tennent \"Pete\" Bagley was once a rising star in America's spy aristocracy, and many expected he'd eventually become CIA director. But the star that burned so brightly exploded when Bagley--who suspected a mole had burrowed deep into the agency's core--was believed himself to be the mole. After a year-long investigation, Bagley was finally exonerated, but the accusations tarnished his reputation and tainted his career. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Bagley's daughter Christina, a CIA analyst, married another intelligence officer who was the son of the man who had played a key role in the investigation into Bagley, it caused a painful rift between the two. But then came Paisley's strange death. A murder? Suicide? Or something else? Pete, now a retired spy, launches his own investigation that takes him deep into his own past and his own longtime hunt for a mole. What follows is a relentless pursuit to solve a spy story--and an inspiring tale of a man reclaiming his reputation and his family. It's a very personal quest that leads to a shocking conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Spy Who Knew Too Much\u003c\/em\u003e includes 8 pages of black-and-white photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780063054219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Howard Blum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42038691135669,"sku":"9780063054219","price":24.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7907864b-b97e-42dc-8738-73a076163607.jpg?v=1649738469","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-spy-who-knew-too-much-an-ex-cia-officers-quest-through-a-legacy-of-betrayal-9780063054219","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
