Amaryllis Fox's gripping memoir chronicles her decade in the CIA's elite clandestine ops unit, where she pursued the world's most dangerous terrorists across sixteen countries while navigating marriage and motherhood. Her journey began during her final year at Oxford, where the brutal murder of her writing mentor, Daniel Pearl, inspired her to study conflict and terrorism at Georgetown. There, she developed an algorithm that accurately predicted the emergence of terrorist cells globally. At just twenty-one, she was recruited by the CIA, starting her career by analyzing classified cables and creating daily briefs for the president. Her subsequent role at the Iraq desk in the Counterterrorism center quickly led to advanced operations training at "the Farm," where she mastered skills essential for survival and evasion. Ultimately deployed as a spy under non-official cover, she posed as an art dealer specializing in tribal and indigenous art, infiltrating terrorist networks in remote regions of the Middle East and Asia. This memoir is an exhilarating and intimate account of an extraordinary life, showcasing Amaryllis Fox's remarkable courage and intellect.
