Description

CIA agent Bill Hefflin is back in Bucharest—immersed in a cauldron of spies and crooked politicians
The CIA is rocked to its core when a KGB defector divulges that there is a KGB mole inside the Agency. They learn that the mole’s handler is a KGB agent known as Boris. CIA analyst Bill Hefflin recognizes that name—Boris is the code name of Hefflin’s longtime KGB asset. If the defector is correct, Hefflin realizes Boris must be a triple agent, and his supposed mole has been passing false intel to Hefflin and the CIA. What’s more, this makes Hefflin the prime suspect as the KGB mole inside the Agency.
Hefflin is given a chance to prove his innocence by returning to his city of birth, Bucharest, Romania, to find Boris and track down the identity of the mole. It’s been three years since the bloody revolution, and what he finds is a cauldron of spies, crooked politicians, and a country controlled by the underground and the new oligarchs, all of whom want to find Boris. But Hefflin has a secret that no one else knows—Boris has been dead for over a year.

Awards & Endorsements

Review
“A story of duplicity piled onto duplicity that will keep you guessing right to the end.”
—Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author

“There’s plenty here for fans of spy fiction to enjoy.”
—Publishers Weekly

"William Maz’s suspenseful spy sequel The Bucharest Legacy: The Rise of the Oligarchs is even more cynical than his admirable debut novel two years ago, The Bucharest Dossier, but just as engaging as an exciting cold-war thriller. And maybe more significant, given continuing realpolitik in the former countries of the USSR."
—NPR, Baum on Books
