      In Washington, D.C., where secrets are hard to keep, the identity of Deep Throat, the source who aided Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in uncovering the Watergate scandal, remained concealed for 33 years. Woodward recounts his intricate relationship with W. Mark Felt, the former No. 2 at the FBI, who played a pivotal role in ending Richard Nixon's presidency. From their initial encounter in the Nixon White House to clandestine meetings in an underground garage, the narrative spans the aftermath of Watergate and Felt's eventual revelation at age 91. A former admirer of J. Edgar Hoover, Felt found himself entangled in a significant power struggle as Nixon's administration sought to control the FBI and obscure its crimes. The book delves into the clash between fleeting political power and the enduring bureaucracy of government, exploring Felt's motivations as he became Deep Throat, confirming Woodward and Bernstein's findings and illuminating Nixon's extensive criminal activities. Woodward also reflects on his evolving relationship with Felt amid legal troubles, including Felt's trial and subsequent pardon by Ronald Reagan. This exploration of trust, deception, and a lifetime of secrets reveals Woodward's personal struggles in understanding his bond with this extraordinary source, ultimately shedding light on one of the final chapters of Watergate.

      International nuclear negotiations turns allies into enemies in this electrifying thriller from the author of The Handler. Nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran have reached a crisis point. The new American administration is determined to move ahead, but there are several stumbling blocks, not the least of which is Lieutenant Colonel Kasem Khalidi, the Iranian intelligence officer the CIA has hidden away in one of its safe houses. As always, John and Meredith Dale are caught in the middle. Mossad—the Israeli intelligence agency—wants Meredith's help to find the lead Iranian rocket scientist; while John is in a desperate race to keep Kasem one step ahead of an Iranian hit squad. They are pawns in an international chess game, and any player knows you cannot capture the king without sacrificing some pawns.
