About
Called "the plot of plots" by the New York Times, Robert Littell's Cold War classic follows two lethal CIA legends as they attempt to entrap a dangerous KGB assassin.
At the height of the Cold War, CIA agents Francis and Carroll-nicknamed "The Sisters Death and Night" by their colleagues-have hatched the perfect plot to entrap a KGB assassin known as "The Sleeper," who is thought to be living secretly in the United States. First they must trick the Potter, former head of the Russian's KGB spy academy, into revealing the identity of his most notorious student.
The Sisters succeed, and covertly send The Sleeper on an impossible assignment, while the Potter races against time to stop his protégé from committing the Sisters' exquisitely planned crime-which may have global consequences.
Brimming with colorful characters, brilliant puzzles, and artful deception, The Sisters is a must-read for crime fiction fans. Robert Littell is the author of twenty-one other highly acclaimed novels, many about the Cold War and the Soviet Union, including his masterwork, New York Times bestseller The Company, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award winner for best mystery-thriller Legends. An American born in Brooklyn, Robert Littell now lives in France.
