The Faithful Spy

Looking for a good summer beach read? I recommend "The Faithful Spy" by Alex Berenson, a thriller with a thought-provoking and ultra-topical premise.

John Wells is a CIA agent under deep cover with al Qaeda. (That's meeting bin Laden deep cover) His superiors at the CIA have largely forgotten or dismissed him, especially in light of 9.11 . Wells is finally sent to the US as part of an elaborate terrorist scheme, he makes contact with the CIA but is treated as a traitor. The only thing he can do is try, on his own, to prevent another attack on US soil.

There's one more thing: Wells has converted to Islam. In addition to being a critique of how the CIA uses human intelligence "The Faithful Spy" looks at the differences between cultures, not just religion. The book's website is here.
