Second Sight by Charles Mccarry
Spy Paul Christopher, now retired and living a normal life in Washington, is brought back into the Outfit when his old friend comes to him with a worrying development: someone is kidnapping U.S. agents and pumping them full of a new mind-control drug. It is up to Christopher to work out who is behind this insidious form of warfare and what the enemy is doing with the extracted information.
Second Sight is a deliciously subtle and fulfilling novel, the end of a great river of loves more truth and emotion than any other spy novel of that large conspiratorial genre -- Richard Condon, author of The Manchurian Candidate

Charles McCarry established an international reputation with the publication of his worldwide bestseller The Tears of Autumn in 1975, and altogether has written ten critically acclaimed espionage and crime novels featuring Paul Christopher, the most elegant of spies. Several of his books have foreshadowed events that at the time seemed too outlandish to be possible, such as 9/11 and the Bush/Gore election scandal. During the Cold War, he was an intelligence officer operating under deep cover in Europe, Africa and Asia, and he draws on his own experience when writing his books, giving them a tangible, believable feel.
