Cheryl Costa has taken the reader through an intriguing journey of the life of a Cold War spy. This books shares the intricate details of how one is trained and how an operation is carried out. It was a thriller and emotional. I laughed, cried, and shared in the anguish experienced by the characters. To live such a secret life is no easy task, yet I know that many people worldwide have to do so. Bravo to Cheryl for sharing this fascinating story. It held my attention from beginning to end.
