"A maze of espionage and violence... McCarry moves alongside LeCarre as a writer of Thrillers." -Washington Post. To Paul Christopher, the world of espionage had become a region of the mad, in which men and women lived without conviction and were compelled by a craving for conspiracy. But now he had to find the "mole" in the Outfit and demand justice from enemies, past and present. And as he followed the twisting path of this secret American intelligence group, he discovered a trail of betrayal and violence that led backward to the horrors of the Nazi era and plunged forward beyond the Vietnam War's labyrinth of lies.

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.
About the Author:
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.

He is a former editor-at-large of National Geographic and has contributed dozens of articles, short stories, and poems to leading national magazines.
