About the book
About Body of Lies
Roger Ferris is one of the CIA\'s soldiers in the war on terrorism. He has come out of Iraq with a shattered leg and an intense mission -- to penetrate the network of a master terrorist known only as \'Suleiman\'. Ferris\'s plan for getting inside Suleiman\'s tent is inspired by a masterpiece of British intelligence during World War II : he literally prepares a body of lies, the corpse of an imaginary CIA officer who appears to have accomplished the impossible by recruiting an agent within the enemy\'s ranks. This scheme binds friend and foe in a web of extraordinary subtlety and complexity, and, when it begins to unravel, Ferris finds himself flying blind into a hurricane. Written by a prize-winning columnist for The Washington Post, Body of Lies confronts readers with a disturbingly realistic insight into the covert life of a CIA operative.
