| Summary note: |
Edward, a morally upright young man who values honor and discretion, is the only witness to his father's suicide. As a member of the Skull and Bones Society while a student at Yale, he is recruited for a career in the newly founded Office of Strategic Services (CIA). While working there, his ideals gradually turn to suspicion influenced by the Cold War paranoia present within the office. Eventually, he becomes an influential veteran operative, while his distrust of everyone around him increases. His dedication to his work does not come without a price though, leading him to sacrifice his ideals and eventually his family. |
