McCarry’s first book, The Miernik Dossier, originally published in 1973, is a riveting and imaginative tale in which a small group of international agents embark on a car trip in a Cadillac, from Switzerland to the Sudan.
“Charles McCarry is the best modern writer on the subject of intrigue,” wrote P.J. O'Rourke, and Time magazine has declared that “there is no better American spy novelist.” Related as a collection of dossier notes written by the five characters, The Miernik Dossier reveals a complicated web in which each spins his or her own deception: each is a spider, and each is a spy. The Miernik Dossier is a thoroughgoing masterpiece.

10/01/2015The first of ten novels to feature American spy Paul Christopher, McCarry's debut boasts an ingenious conceit: the story is told in a series of reports, telephone transcripts, and diary entries, without authorial narration to offer context. The central mystery—Is the titular Polish diplomat really a spy for the Soviets?—is never directly answered. (LJ 9/1/05)
