Body Of Lies

Former CIA director Roger Ferris is one of the CIA's soldiers in the war on terrorism. He has come out of Iraq with a shattered leg and an intense mission to penetrate the network of a master terrorist known only as Suleiman. Ferris's plan involves creating a body of lies, a corpse of an imaginary CIA officer, to recruit an agent within the enemy's ranks. This scheme creates a web of extraordinary subtlety and complexity, and when it begins to unravel, Ferris finds himself flying blind into a hurricane. His only hope is the urbane head of Jordan's intelligence service, a man who might be an Arab version of John le Carré's celebrated spy, George Smiley. But can Ferris trust him?
