About

Many years ago, a young American spy crossed the wrong people and found himself on the wrong side of Headquarters. He soon fell into a slow, shameful decline of poverty and self-destruction. But Headquarters didn't count on him having a son.

Now, years later, the boy is an American spy himself, serving two masters: Headquarters and his own insatiable need for revenge. Sent to Argentina to infiltrate a revolutionary group with deep ties to Russia, the young man finds himself dangerously drawn to his target's daughter. Yet, despite the passion between them, he refuses to lose sight of his ultimate goal: destroying the institution that ruined his father all those years ago.

Reviews

"Blending old-time yarns with a contemporary saga of payback and political intrigue... McCarry merges time-honored tradecraft with the technology of the day... [His] real-life cloak-and-dagger work is long past. But he's clearly banked plenty of know-how from those days, and he continues to parcel it out in entertaining spy novels like this one."
Washington Post
"Charles McCarry is criminally underrated: The former CIA operative has been writing brilliant thrillers under the radar for decades-the latest being The Mulberry Bush... McCarry's twisty plot doubles back on itself multiple times, keeping us off-kilter to the last moment."
Seattle Times
"America's finest spy writer, Charles McCarry, proves impressively up-to-date with the methods and tensions of international espionage in The Mulberry Bush."
Guardian (UK), "best crime and thriller books of 2015"
