The Trojan Spy by Gaither Stewart
From Feodor Dostoevsky and Joseph Conrad to Doris Lessing, many have explored what makes nihilists or anarchists or terrorists. In The Trojan Spy, Gaither Stewart enters the same maze with Anatoly Nikitin, a Russian double agent and spymaster from the Cold War era who, in its aftermath, intends to kill his CIA controller responsible for the death of his lover. Thwarted in this, he undertakes a greater mission: to run down the organizers of present-day terrorism. Like the Trojan Horse of mythology, Nikitin has been welcomed without suspicion into any community he was assigned to assimilate, yet within him lurks an army of aliases capable of countless betrayals.
As a Cold War spy he was maneuvered by the best of spymasters of East and West but now, after a lifetime spent switching roles, he maneuvers his own ring in an attempt to uncover the deadliest of spy rings, the organizers of terrorism. His quest sweeps the globe from Moscow, Berlin, St. Moritz, Paris, Munich and Tehran, to the seemingly placid Perugia, which seethes with spies, and finally to Assisi.
