<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Nuclear brinksmanship. Psychological warfare. Spies, double agents, femme fatales, and dead drops. <br /> <br /> The Cold War--a terrifying time when nuclear war between the world's two superpowers was an ever-present threat, an all-too-real possibility that could be set off at the touch of a button--provides a chilling backdrop to this collection of all-new short stories from today's most celebrated mystery writers.<br /> <br /> Bestselling authors Jeffery Deaver and Raymond Benson--the only American writers to be commissioned to pen official James Bond novels--have joined forces to bring us twenty masterful tales of paranoia, espionage, and psychological drama. In Joseph Finder's "Police Report," the seemingly cut-and-dry case of a lunatic murderer in rural Massachusetts may have roots in Soviet-controlled Armenia. In "Miss Bianca" by Sara Paretsky, a young girl befriends a mouse in a biological warfare laboratory and finds herself unwittingly caught in an espionage drama. And Deaver's "Comrade 35" offers a unique spin on the assassination of John F. Kennedy--with a signature twist. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jeffery Deaver</b> is the #1 international bestselling author of over thirty novels and three collections of short stories.
