The Billion Dollar Spy: A True Story of Cold War Espionage and Betrayal (Unabridged‪)‬

January 1977. While the chief of the CIA’s Moscow station fills his gas tank, a stranger drops a note into the car. 

In the years that follow, that stranger, Adolf Tolkachev, becomes one of the West’s most valuable spies. At enormous risk Tolkachev and his handlers conduct clandestine meetings across Moscow, using spy cameras, props, and private codes to elude the KGB in its own backyard - until a shocking betrayal puts them all at risk. 

Drawing on previously classified CIA documents and interviews with firsthand participants, The Billion Dollar Spy is a brilliant feat of reporting and a riveting true story from the final years of the Cold War.
