About this book
On a rainy night in Paris Paul Christophers lover Molly Benson falls victim to a vehicular homicide minutes after Christopher boards a jet to Vietnam. To explain this seemingly senseless murder The Last Supper takes its readers back not only to the earliest days of Christophers life but also to the origins of the CIA in the clandestine operations of the OSS during World War II. Moving seamlessly from tales of refugee smuggling in Nazi Germany to OSS-coordinated guerilla warfare against the Japanese in Burma to the chaotic violence of the Vietnam War McCarry creates an intimate history of the shadow world of deceit and betrayal that penetrates the psyches of the men and women who live within it.
