Walking Back the Cat
TheNew York Timeshas called Robert Littell "the American Le Carre," and  his terrific new thriller shows why. A KGB contract killer nicknamed Parsifal, living in New Mexico as a  dealer in rare guns, is suddenly called back into action by his old controller and ordered to remove a  Russian defector and several leaders of the Apache tribe who run a gambling casino. Parsifal links up with  a burned-out Gulf War vet named Finn to find out why--after years of inactivity--the KGB has turned itself  back into an oddly motivated killing machine. The results are well up to Littell's high standards of  intelligence and excitement.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
