The spy inside

In 1946, linguist and codebreaker Meredith Gardner discovered that the KGB was running an extensive network of spies inside the United States. Over the next decade, he and young FBI supervisor Bob Lamphere worked to uncover the Soviet agents and protect the Holy Grail of Cold War espionage—the atomic bomb. Lamphere and Gardner took down down the agents one by one, including Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. But the spymaster at the center of the ring remained beyond their grasp—until they set their sights on a mole buried deep in the American intelligence community.

The story of the race to unmask the traitor is a breathtaking chapter of history and a page-turning mystery that plays out against the life-and-death gamesmanship of the Cold War.
