The Sisters Death and Night, as some minor Whitman connoisseur once named them, had been prodigies, sure, but few people know what their job at the Company is anymore.

Produktbeschreibung
"The general consensus at the CIA is that Carroll and Francis are done for. The Sisters Death and Night, as some minor Whitman connoisseur once named them, had been prodigies, sure, but few people know what their job at the Company is anymore. Their masterful plots are old history now-or are they? Lurking under the radar, Carroll and Francis are planning their most ambitious mission yet: the perfect crime. All they're missing is a killer who can never be traced back to them, and the Sisters know just the candidate. Being the head of the KGB sleeper school is a prestigious position. It comes with luxuries of all kinds: your own dacha for summers away, a chauffeur at the ready, a beautiful wife enamored with American lipsticks, and, by extension, you. This is the life the Potter lived, emphasis on "lived." Now, disgraced by a string of failures and exiled to a bare-bones shared apartment, his glory days are far behind him. It looks like the only thing left is throwing pots on his old spinning wheel . . . that is, until he picks up a mysterious phone call that tempts him to betray his final, dearest secret-the last and best sleeper agent he ever taught. Described as "the plot of plots" by The New York Times, this Cold War thriller is a deadly race against time and one of Robert Littell's finest pieces of fiction"--
