It’s from his boss, about the Tiger, with whom Milo has long had a special, peculiarly respectful relationship. But then, six years later, on a day much like any other, there’s the life-altering phone call. He has a wife and daughter that he adores, and he is content indeed to have come in from the cold. Soon he’s spending most of his time jockeying a desk at CIA headquarters in New York. He takes a couple of bullets in the chest, survives and recovers and, subsequently, elects to burrow into the bureaucracy. This happens on the streets of Venice during a shootout. Milo Weaver is a CIA legend, a member in terrific standing of an elite undercover operation known as the Tourists, until, inevitably-no one ever stays a Tourist forever-he runs out of courage. In his latest thriller, Steinhauer ( Victory Square, 2007, etc.) ventures into the darkest corners of the CIA and finds the place full of antiheroes.
