January, 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 & his handlers conducted clandestine meetings across Moscow, using spy cameras, props, & 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 & interviews with first-hand participants, The Billion Dollar Spy is a brilliant feat of reporting & a riveting true story from the final years of the Cold War.
