   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   Natt90 | Mar 27, 2023 |  davdittrich | Feb 14, 2023 |  ) dria42 | Jan 2, 2023 | Milo Weaver, the main character, is a former "tourist", a secret group that travels a lot doing black op jobs for a secret US government agency, perhaps the CIA. I forget, but it doesn't matter except to those that care, like other secret agencies. Mainly, they're all spies. The book starts with Milo in a gunfight, lying low but tempted to just stand up and get shot. He's tired of it all, and dying sounds like as good a solution as any, since it's not easy to just quit and live to a ripe old age when you know too many secrets. Milo has a wife and daughter that he cares about, so he is trying to retire, but that wouldn't make for a very good story, so of course, he can't. Most of the book is concerned with trying to figure out who are the good guys, and who are not so good. Nobody seems to know, least of all me. I'm still not 100% sure, so I'm moving right on to the next book to see if I can figure out what's happening. I've already read a little, and it starts out pretty good, with many of the same people and concerning the same operation, it seems. ( ) MartyFried | Oct 9, 2022 | See the CIA's review of this book.

HTML: "There are tourists from all over the world. Most of them want to kill you."â??The Black Book of Tourism In this contemporary international thriller that is reminiscent of John le Carré and Graham Greene, Milo Weaver has tried to leave his old life of secrets and lies behind by giving up his job as a "tourist" for the CIAâ??an undercover agent with no home, no identityâ??and working a desk at the CIA's New York headquarters. But staying retired from the field becomes impossible when the arrest of a long-sought-after assassin sets off an investigation into one of Milo's oldest colleagues and friends. Soon Milo is drawn into a conspiracy that links riots in the Sudan, an assassin committing suicide, and an old friend who's been accused of selling secrets to the Chinese. With new layers of intrigue being exposed in his old cases, and with the CIA and Homeland Security after him, he has no choice but to go back undercover and find out who's been pulling the strings once and for all.
