Reviews
Praise for The Defection of A.J. Lewinter Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger "A perfect little gem...one of the best Cold War thrillers I've read in years." -- The New York Times Book Review "This is dazzling work, literature of a high order that happens to address the madness of the Cold War . . . The Defection of AJ Lewinter is just about perfect." -- The Washington Post "Concise, smart and funny, this novel turns Cold War spy clichés on their head. Though the ambiguous ending no longer terrifies, this book still packs a punch and seems prescient to boot. Those who only know Littell's more recent works should enjoy this fast, fun trip into the past." -- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
A new edition of the spy classic by Robert Littell, New York Times bestselling master of the espionage thriller. The black comedy follows a pawn in the American military complex whose decision to change sides might determine the outcome of the Cold War. An engineer who's spent most of his career studying ceramic nose cones for ballistic missiles, American scientist A.J. Lewinter is used to being a cog in the military-industrial complex--until, while at a conference in Tokyo, he rushes into the Russian Embassy offering to defect. Hard-edged US intelligence operative Leo Diamond sets out to determine what, if anything, Lewinter knows; on the Soviet side, KGB agent Yefgeny Pogodin must decipher whether this high-level defection is another ruse in a long-standing war. Neither global superpower knows what to expect from Lewinter, the wild card, but both sides know this: If he's telling the truth, his information could be the final turning point in the Cold War. A darkly funny spy thriller from one of the most brilliant voices of espionage fiction, The Defection of A.J. Lewinter is a shockingly prescient portrayal of international politics.
