About this title

Synopsis

Paul Christopher is forced to choose between the destruction of a loved one and the intelligence agency for which he works

From the Publisher

On a rainy night in Paris, Paul Christopher's lover Molly Benson falls victim to a vehicular homicide minutes before Christopher boards a jet bound for Vietnam. To explain this seemingly senseless murder, The Last Supper takes its readers back not only to the earliest days of Christopher's life, but also to the origins of the CIA in the clandestine operations of the OSS during World War II. Moving seamlessly from tales of refugee smuggling in Nazi Germany, to OSS-coordinated guerilla warfare against the Japanese in Burma, to the confused violence of the Vietnam War, McCarry creates an intimate history of the shadow-world of deceit and betrayal that penetrates the psyches of the men and women who live within it.

Perhaps the most richly complex of McCarry's renowned Paul Christopher novels, The Last Supper is an epic recreation of the history of an organization ensnared by a culture of conspiracy, deceit, and senseless violence.

Store Description

I have been collecting books for 30 years and have recently turned my passion into an online bookstore. I specialize in literary first editions, US politics, and poetry, but I have a knack for finding interesting and unusual books in all areas. Each book is hand selected and come from multiple sources. Consequently, I believe it is important to describe the books in as much detail as possible. Books are now stored in a smoke-free home. I am adding to my collection everyday, so please return frequently and let me know if there is a special book you would like me to look for. Contact me with any questions or comments at hovland@castlehousebooks.com.
