From Leon Uris, the bestselling author of Exodus, comes a taut and compelling thriller ripped from the headlines of the Cold War. Topaz plunges readers into the shadowy world of international espionage at one of the most dangerous flashpoints of the twentieth century — the Cuban Missile Crisis. When a French intelligence network is uncovered as a Soviet spy ring reaching into the highest levels of the NATO alliance, an American agent must race against time to expose the traitors before the fragile balance of world peace collapses. Based on a real-life scandal that rocked France and sent shockwaves through Washington and Moscow, Topaz is a masterclass in suspense from one of the great storytellers of his generation.
