      In Washington, D.C., where secrets are hard to keep, the identity of Deep Throat, the source who aided Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in uncovering the Watergate scandal, remained concealed for 33 years. Woodward recounts his intricate relationship with W. Mark Felt, the former No. 2 at the FBI, who played a pivotal role in ending Richard Nixon's presidency. From their initial encounter in the Nixon White House to clandestine meetings in an underground garage, the narrative spans the aftermath of Watergate and Felt's eventual revelation at age 91. A former admirer of J. Edgar Hoover, Felt found himself entangled in a significant power struggle as Nixon's administration sought to control the FBI and obscure its crimes. The book delves into the clash between fleeting political power and the enduring bureaucracy of government, exploring Felt's motivations as he became Deep Throat, confirming Woodward and Bernstein's findings and illuminating Nixon's extensive criminal activities. Woodward also reflects on his evolving relationship with Felt amid legal troubles, including Felt's trial and subsequent pardon by Ronald Reagan. This exploration of trust, deception, and a lifetime of secrets reveals Woodward's personal struggles in understanding his bond with this extraordinary source, ultimately shedding light on one of the final chapters of Watergate.

Meredith Morris-Dale is a CIA case officer and a damn good one...even if this last mission did go terribly wrong. Now she has been summoned back to Langley where she expects to be fired. Instead, she is met by the Deputy Director with stunning news. A single well-placed CIA mole in Iran’s uranium enrichment program has kept the terrorist nation from building a bomb by sabotaging the performance of their covert centrifuge arrays. But after losing his daughter in an airliner shootdown, the mole wants out—leaving the world on the brink. His one demand: a reunion with the only handler he ever trusted, John Dale—Meredith's disgraced, fired, wayward ex-husband. As Meredith and John struggle through their fraught relationship, a craven CIA political hierarchy, Russian interference, and the rogue spy’s manipulation, they must reach deep within their shared connection to maintain, recover, or kill the asset.
