Alex Berenson, a New York Times reporter who in 2003 spent three months in Baghdad covering the American occupation, plumbed his experiences to write this debut spy thriller.

His American handlers begin questioning his loyalties when the al-Qaeda higher-ups assign him a role in setting off a dirty bomb in New York.

Industry Reviews:

"[M]ounting suspense, a believable scenario and a final twist add up to a compelling tale of frightening possibilities. It's not for the squeamish, though: the torture sequences and bombing descriptions are graphic and chillingly real."
(02/13/2006) "A thriller worthy of le Carre....Well done throughout." (starred review)
(02/15/2006) "If Berenson remains as much reporter as novelist at this point...he still has an ingenious narrative to show for it. Uncertain times call for tough examinations, and THE FAITHFUL SPY doesn't back away."

Publisher Notes:

John Wells, an undercover operative who has infiltrated al Qaeda, is trapped between his terrorist associates and the CIA, which no longer trusts his loyalty, when he becomes a prime suspect in two bombings in Los Angeles.
