Beschreibung
As a spy prepared to give away America's biggest secrets after the 9/11 attacks, an FBI agent raced to catch her.U.S. government officials knew they had a spy. But it never occurred to them it was a womanand certainly not a superstar Defense Intelligence Agency employee known as ';the Queen of Cuba.'Ana Montes had spent seventeen years spying for the Cubans. She had been raised in a patriotic Puerto Rican household: Her father, a psychiatrist, was a former colonel in the U.S. Army. Her sister worked as a translator for the FBI and helped break up a ring of Cuban spies in Miami. Her brother was also a loyal FBI agent.Montes impressed her bosses, but in secret, spent her breaks memorizing top secret documents before sending them to the Cuban government. She received no payment, even as one of her missives could have brought her the death penalty.She also listened to anxiety-relief tapes, took medication, and saw a psychiatrist. She dreamed of a normal life where she could work a job she enjoyed. She dreamed of getting married, and even had a man in mind: a defense analyst on the Cuba account for Southern Command. He had no idea that, three times a week, Montes pulled a short-wave radio from her closet and received encrypted messages from Cuba.After the 9/11 attacks, Cuba wanted Montes to continue her work. They couldn't know the FBI was already on to her. Retired FBI agent Peter J. Lapp explains the cluesincluding never-released informationthat led their team to catch one of the United States' most dangerous spies.
