"The research is breathtaking in its scope, and the author 'connects the dots' in a way that would make even the most skilled intelligence analyst proud"—Eric Haseltine, author of The Spy in Moscow Station: A Counterspy's Hunt for a Deadly Cold War Threat

"Welsome conjures a story that hums with fully realized characters, magnificent scenery, and a devious plot. The fact that her tale is completely true only makes it more harrowing. I hope Welsome has a safe house—her pulse-pounding exposé is bound to trigger blowback."—Kathleen Sharp, author of Blood Medicine: Blowing the Whistle on One of the Deadliest Prescription Drugs

"Pulitzer Prize author Eileen Welsome has given us a thoroughly researched conclusion to the mysterious disappearance of Professor Tom Riha. On March 18, 1969, he failed to appear to teach his class at the University of Colorado. His table was set for breakfast, and his briefcase sat on his desk in his office. Riha had vanished, never to be seen again. Shocked colleagues and friends tried for months to learn what had happened to him, to no avail. Welsome's exhaustive research has provided us with long-awaited answers."—Joyce Lebra, author of The Scent of Sake
