Two Cold War-era CIA veterans plot the perfect crime in this spy thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of The Company.
In what Christopher Lehmann-Haupt of The New York Times called "the plot of plots," Robert Littell has created the CIA "legends" Francis and Carroll, dubbed by their cohorts as "The Sisters Death and Night." But few know what these enigmatic and extremely dangerous operatives do.
They plot—and they're plotting the perfect crime. They've located the perfect pawn—the Potter, the exiled ex-head of the KGB sleeper school—and, with artful deception, the Sisters coerce him into betraying his last and best sleeper, the man he considers his son.
Once awakened, this sleeper, an assassin living secretly in the U.S., will launch a mission of death—unless the Potter, in a desperate race against time, can stop his protege from committing the Sisters' perfect and world-shattering crime . . .
Praise for The Sisters
"A gripping spy thriller. . . . Littell brilliantly weaves quirky characters and puzzle-piece vignettes into an intricate, bizarre and highly entertaining tale." —Publishers Weekly
"Engrossing. . . . Right up there with the novels of Le Carré, Deighton, and the rest of the best." —People
