NATIONAL BESTSELLER Now a major motion picture starring Paul Rudd “A delightful book that recounts one of the strangest episodes in the history of espionage. . . . . Relentlessly entertaining.”—The New York Times Book Review Moe Berg is the only major-league baseball player whose baseball card is on display at the headquarters of the CIA. For Berg was much more than a third-string catcher who played on several major league teams between 1923 and 1939. Educated at Princeton and the Sorbonne, he as reputed to speak a dozen languages (although it was also said he couldn't hit in any of them) and went on to become an OSS spy in Europe during World War II. As Nicholas Dawidoff follows Berg from his claustrophobic childhood through his glamorous (though equivocal) careers in sports and espionage and into the long, nomadic years during which he lived on the hospitality of such scattered acquaintances as Joe DiMaggio and Albert Einstein, he succeeds not only in establishing where Berg went, but who he was beneath his layers of carefully constructed cover. As engrossing as a novel by John le Carré, The Catcher Was a Spy is a triumphant work of historical and psychological detection.

On October 19, 1942 President Franklin D Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. This gave Secretary of State Henry L Stimson authority to relocate Japanese Americans away from important military installations along the West Coast into internment camps. There existed great fear of spies lurking in this community just as there had been in Hawaii prior to the heinous attack on Pearl Harbor. The uncovering of these spies and their networks became matters of the highest priority for American security organizations. They were granted previously unheard of latitude in pursuit of this mission. A twenty year old student of Oriental Studies was unceremoniously snatched from his college to aid this mission. His strident protests were waved aside under the guise of National Security. He was informed his knowledge of the Japanese language was the principal reason for commandeering his services. That would prove to be only the initial rationale. His mission quickly morphed into a significantly more dangerous one. He would become a spy hunter.

Perfect for fans of Jennifer Weiner, Emily Giffin, and Jane Green. How would it feel to wake up one morning and discover that you’re married to James Bond? Shelley has always believed that her husband is a mild-mannered management consultant—but then one morning his picture appears on CNN above the headline “CIA Spy David Harris is Source of British News Leak.” Quiet, self-possessed David a spy? Impossible! But while Shelley is still reeling from the first revelation, David’s photo is again splashed across the news—and this time he’s not alone. This time he has his arm around a beautiful, sun-streaked blonde, and this time the headline screams, “CIA Superspy and British Reporter in Romantic Relationship!” In the weeks that follow, together and apart, David and Shelley dodge foreign agents and international media hounds (not to mention his desperate ex-lover) from Paris to Bogotá to Jerusalem. But more alarming than this game of hide-and-seek is the fact that Shelley finds herself fascinated and deeply, disturbingly attracted by the dangerous stranger her husband has become. Can she reconcile her dream of domestic tranquility with the fierce emotions that have suddenly taken over her life? Can she become the perfect spy’s wife?
