The Spy with a Clean FaceRussell R. Miller
BeachHouse Books $18.95
Reviewed by Tony Lazzarini Russell Miller’s book, The Spy with a Clean Face, follows corporate executive, occasional CIA operative Charlie Connelly through Latin America, Asia and eventually to the dead zone of Chernobyl. Connelly’s credentials as an international businessman makes the perfect cover as the CIA utilizes his high sense of patriotism and his ability to travel legitimately to maneuver him as they deem necessary. Miller’s highly descriptive prose combined with a vast knowledge of locations balances his book gracefully between adventure, history and travel guide. It also provides you a glimpse into the treacherous world of espionage without the overly ambitious plots or unbelievable characters found in similar books. Miller’s abundant use of impressive descriptions combined with a thinking man’s plot will keep you reading. Highly recommended.
