It is the height of the Cold War, and Francis and Carroll-two CIA "legends" dubbed "The Sisters Death and Night" by their associates-plot the perfect crime. They deftly lure The Potter-former head of the Russian's KGB espionage school-into revealing the identity of his most talented student, an assassin called "The Sleeper." The Sisters covertly send the Sleeper on a treacherous and near-impossible assignment, while the Potter races against time stop his protégé from committing the Sisters' exquisitely planned crime. With quirky characters and puzzle-piece vignettes, The Sisters is an intricate, bizarre, and highly entertaining tale.
