Martin Odum is a onetime CIA field agent turned private detective in Brooklyn, struggling his way through a labyrinth of memories and past identities-"legends" in Agency parlance. But who is Martin Odum? Is he a creation of the Legend Committee at the CIA's Langley headquarters? Is he suffering from multiple personality disorder, brainwashing, or simply exhaustion?
Widely considered one of the true grand masters of American spy fiction, Robert Littell shifts focus from the broad Cold War canvas of his international bestseller The Companyto the life of a single CIA operative caught in a contradictory "wilderness of mirrors" in which remembering the past and forgetting it are both deadly options. From unforgettable opening to astonishing ending, Legendsagain proves Littell's unparalleled prowess as a seductive storyteller.
"Littell provides plenty of inside intelligence info in his superb new thriller, but he adds a decidedly comic spin.... As the bodies of his friends and clients begin to pile up, Odum searches for answers about not only the missing husband but also himself. Wonderful writing and a great sense of fun make this another winner." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Now and then novels come along of such originality and power that they blow me away.... [ Legends] makes it blazingly clear that Littell's is one of the most talented, most original voices in American fiction today." - The Washington Post
