书籍简介

WATERSTONES 2018年8月月度非虚构类图书，《星期日泰晤士报》畅销书。

“本书以惊人的细节描绘了20世纪80年代的间谍活动，以快节奏的新闻写作风格和令人毛骨悚然的当代感。” Ben Macintyre，《泰晤士报》

“这是一个关于秘密世界中勇气、专业精神和背叛的扣人心弦的故事。” Rodric Braithwaite，英国驻莫斯科大使，1988-1992

“冷战时期精彩的间谍故事之一，因其真实性而更加引人入胜。” 《华盛顿邮报》，1977年1月。

中央情报局莫斯科站站长正在加油时，一个陌生人在车里丢了一张纸条。在接下来的几年里，这个陌生人，阿道夫·托尔卡切夫，成为了西方超有价值的间谍之一。

托尔卡切夫和他的经纪人冒着巨大的风险，在莫斯科各地举行秘密会议，使用间谍相机、道具和私人密码，试图躲避克格勃在其后院的追捕——直到一次令人震惊的背叛让他们全都陷入危险。

《十亿美元间谍》以先前保密的中情局文件和对一手参与者的采访为基础，是一部精彩的报道，讲述了冷战末期扣人心弦的真实故事。

WATERSTONES NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH AUGUST 2018 AND A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'An astonishingly detailed picture of espionage in the 1980s, written with pacey journalistic verve and an eerily contemporary feel.' Ben Macintyre, The Times

'A gripping story of courage, professionalism, and betrayal in the secret world.' Rodric Braithwaite, British Ambassador in Moscow, 1988-1992

'One of the best spy stories to come out of the Cold War and all the more riveting for being true.' Washington PostJanuary, 1977.

While the chief of the CIA's Moscow station fills his gas tank, a stranger drops a note into the car. In the years that followed, that stranger, Adolf Tolkachev, became one of the West's most valuable spies.

At enormous risk Tolkachev and his handlers conducted clandestine meetings across Moscow, using spy cameras, props, and private codes to elude the KGB in its own backyard - until a shocking betrayal put them all at risk.

Drawing on previously classified CIA documents and interviews with first-hand participants, The Billion Dollar Spy is a brilliant feat of reporting and a riveting true story from the final years of the Cold War.
