If the answer to that question is, Yes, what the hell are they up to?!? The Cold War, a period of history during which spycraft rules the world by substituting subterfuge and lies for actual war and mass death. The Soviet Union and the United States of America, the two major players, spend untold sums of money and put their best minds to work at attempting to gain the upper hand, whatever that means. Two distinct ideologies. One takes the long view, while the other prefers instant gratification. They find common ground only in their willingness to utilize experimental methods and the lengths to which they are willing to go to win, including using their own citizens in unimaginable ways. During the Cold War, the Soviets plan to infiltrate the U.S. by placing deep cover agents into the country as everyday citizens. Was the plan successful? If so, with d?tente and the collapse of the Soviet Union, where are they today? Lisa Jones and Jennifer Turner are two brilliant scientists working at United Genetics Research Lab, a state-of-the-art facility located outside of Washington, D.C., doing state-of-the-art genetics research. Lisa's boyfriend, Sgt. Stephan Beck, works at the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) as an interpreter of intercepted Russian language messages. One such message, intercepted by Homeland Security, piques his interest due to what he, and no one else, perceives to be a hidden message. Unable to resist the challenge, he breaks protocol in an effort to unravel the mystery, unprepared for what he actually learns: a possible connection to the people he loves and an attempt to manipulate the next presidential election, only months away, altering the fate of the U.S., and the world. Deep Cover, the second published novel by acclaimed author Jeffrey Jay Levin, author of Watching, Volume 1: The Garden Museum Heist, asks the question: Are the two countries, and the behind-the-scenes players, really all that different? Who can one really trust? If The Manchurian Candidate and The Americans had a baby, it would have been the adult action thriller Deep Cover....

Your entire life can be a lie. The terrifying part is, you might never find out. Army Sergeant Stephan Beck is sharp, stubborn, and fluent in Russian for reasons he never thought to question. He has a job, a girlfriend, and a life that feels perfectly ordinary. Until a routine assignment lands him an intercept he cannot crack, and he starts pulling a thread that unravels everything. What he finds is not just a conspiracy. It is a masterpiece of manipulation, decades in the making, stretching from frozen Siberian corridors to the highest levels of American power.
