The Spy Who Knew Too Much: An Ex-CIA Officer’s Quest Through a Legacy of Betrayal by Howard Blum
From New York Times bestselling author of The Last Goodnight comes a gripping real-life spy thriller about betrayal, redemption, and one man’s relentless pursuit of the truth.
In 1978, a sloop drifts across Chesapeake Bay—its owner, former CIA officer John Paisley, missing. Onboard: signs of a struggle, live ammunition, and top-secret equipment. Was it suicide? Murder? Or something else entirely?
Only one man may hold the key. Tennent “Pete” Bagley was once poised to become CIA director—until his career was derailed by accusations he was the very mole he tried to expose. Though cleared, the stain lingered. Decades later, when his daughter Christina, now a CIA analyst, marries into the family that helped destroy his career, Pete is left reeling.
But Paisley’s mysterious disappearance pulls him back in. Determined to uncover the truth, Bagley reopens the case, chasing down buried secrets and confronting old enemies in a final bid to vindicate himself—and heal his fractured relationship with his daughter.
Filled with intrigue, emotional depth, and jaw-dropping revelations, The Spy Who Knew Too Much is a powerful true story of espionage, legacy, and personal redemption.
