Charles Ameringer (cda1) | 24 comments The veteran reviewer Charles Kovacs has posted a five star review of the spy/thriller THE OLD SPOOK on Amazon.com. The Old Spook by Charles Ameringer .
It appeared out of the blue; totally unsolicited; and blew my mind.
He writes: "This book is something between a Cold War spy story and a roman a'clef. It is about the CIA in Central America and the Caribbean and I am inclined to think of it as one of the great novels of the Cold War."

Charles Ameringer (cda1) | 24 comments Charles Kovacs has now posted his review of THE OLD SPOOK on Goodreads, with some slight changes. Actually, I think he needs to make another change; where he states that the novel is climaxed by the Bay of Pigs, it would be more accurate to say that it reaches its climax with the Iran-Contra affair.
