A master spy confronts the ghosts of his past in a world where memory is the deadliest weapon.In Second Sight, the seventh installment of Charles McCarry’s acclaimed Paul Christopher series, the legendary poet-spy is drawn out of retirement and into a global manhunt that quickly turns personal.U.S. agents across the Arab world are being abducted and brainwashed by a mysterious enemy wielding a mind-altering drug. When Christopher’s former superior in "the Outfit" calls on him, he cannot refuse—even as the mission leads him back into the shadows of his own history.From pre-Nazi Germany to Cold War battlegrounds, from Vietnam to Washington, D.C., McCarry’s narrative spans continents and decades, weaving a tale of espionage, betrayal, and reckoning. At its heart is a gifted Berber woman whose visions may hold the key to Christopher’s fate.With lyrical prose and taut suspense, Second Sight explores the cost of secrets and the power of memory in a world built on deception.
