　　Robert Bae***as known inside the CIA as perhaps the best

operative working the Middle East. Over several decades he served

everywhere from Iraq to New Delhi and racked up such an impressive

list of accomplishments that he was eventually awarded the Career

Intelligence Medal. But if his caree***as everything a spy

might ***ire to, his personal life was a brutal illustration of

everything a spy is asked to sacrifice. Bob had few enduring

non-work friendships, only contacts and acquaintances. His

prolonged absences destroyed his marriage, and he felt intense

guilt at spending so little time with his children. Sworn to

secrecy and c***tantly driven by ulterior motives, he was a man

apart wherever he went.

Dayna Williamson thought of herself as just an ordinary

California girl -- admittedly one born into a comfortable

lifestyle. But she was always looking to get closer to the

edge. When she joined the CIA, she was initially tasked with

Agency background checks, but the attractive Berkeley graduate

quickly distinguished herself as someone who could thrive in the

field, and she was eventually assigned to “Protective Operati***”

training where she learned to handle weap*** and explosives and

conduct high-speed escape and evasion. Tapped to serve in some of

the world's most dangerous places, she discovered an inner strength

and resourcefulness she'd never known -- but she also came to see

that the spy life exacts a heavy toll. Her marriage crumbled,

her parents grew distant, and she lost touch with friends who'd

once meant everything to her.

When Bob and Dayna met on a mission in Sarajevo, it wasn't love

at first sight. They were both too jaded for that. But there was

something there, a spark. And as the danger escalated and their

affection for each other grew, they realized it was time to leave

“the Company,” to somehow rediscover the people they’d once

been.

As worldly as both were, the couple didn’t realize at first that

turning in their Agency I.D. cards would not be enough to put their

covert past behind. The fact was, their clandestine

relati***hips remained. Living as “civilians” in

conflict-ridden Beirut, they fielded assassination proposals, met

with Arab sheiks, wily oil tyco***, terrorists, and assorted

outlaws – and came perilously close to dying. But even then

they couldn’t know that their most formidable challenge lay

ahead.

Simultaneously a trip deep down the intelligence rabbit *** –

one that shows how the “game” actually works, including the

compromises it asks of those who play by its rules -- and a

portrait of two people trying to regain a normal life, The Company

We Keep is a masterly depiction of the real world of shadows.

caught up in the dark world of CIA intrigue try to balance romance

and gunplay while building a relati***hip on the jagged edge of

undercove***ork…The Company We Keepwill make you ask, who needs

difficult moments."--Rita Golden Gelman, author of Tales of a
