Explanation During Books The Tears of Autumn (Paul Christopher #2)

Paul Christopher, at the height of his powers as a secret agent, believes he knows who arranged the assassination and why. His theory is so destructive of the legend of the dead president, though, and so dangerous to the survival of foreign policy that he is ordered to desist from investigating. But Christopher is a man who lives by and for the truth, and his internal compunctions force him to the heart of the matter. He resigns from the Agency and embarks on a tour of investigation that takes him from Paris to Rome, Zurich, the Congo, and Saigon. Threatened by Kennedy's assassins and by his own government, Christopher follows the scent of his suspicion - one breath behind the truth, one step ahead of discovery and death.

Critique Based On Books The Tears of Autumn (Paul Christopher #2)

After reading DeLillo's Libra, twice, I found it hard to imagine anyone matching, much less surpassing, his fictional take on JFK assassination. McCarry does not match DeLillo, but he does foretell, by 16 years, my favorite line in Libra: "A fact is innocent until someone wants it. Then it becomes intelligence." The main tension in McCarry's telling is that no one, or no one who really matters, wants the intelligence born of those facts.The plot gets a bit convoluted at times -- as another

Contains one of the most fascinating -- and somewhat plausible-- JFK assasination theories that I've ever run across. One of the best spy novels, by someone other than Le Carre.

Reading the obituaries in the newspaper often leads me to discoveries or lives led and things done that I had somehow missed or forgotten about. Charles McCarry recently passed away and I happened to read the obit in the Washington Post and I had to wonder how I had never heard of him or read any of his books. The description seemed right up my alley, to sum it up he was presented as the American version of John le Carre. I saw that "Tears of Autumn" was considered his best book so I dove right

Charles McCarry is a less well-known spy novelist than le Carre or Deighton, but belongs in the same conversation even if "Tears of Autumn" was the only book he published. McCarry's protagonist Paul Christopher is somewhere between super human (e.g. ability to pick up almost any language--even tonal ones--in a month or two) and all-too-human (e.g. his feelings for his Australian lover). The pace is fast, the settings described in sufficient detail to convince the reader that McCarry knows them

Charles McCarry comes highly recommended from friends and literary blurbs that call him a master of the (spy novel) genre and compare him to LeCarre. This is the first book in the Paul Christopher series, but likely my last. The problem for me isn't the characters, although some were maddeningly one-dimensional, but the plot which bounces from a Thai family dynasty to defecting Russian agents to Fidel's Cuba to post-colonial Africa, Chicago Mobsters and even a midget super thief who breaks in to

McCarry like John LeCarre and Daniel Silva is known as one of those authors who gets it right with his spy yarns. The Tears of Autumn is his second novel and the second to feature his series character Paul Christopher, a CIA agent active during the 1950s and 1960s. In this installment, Christopher decides to solve the JFK assassination. Nothing like swinging for the fences, eh?Even though Christopher flirts with super-agenthood speaking multiple languages, near-photographic memory,

This was not a fast paced thriller but an excellently written spy novel that was filled with tension throughout and had one of the better fictional explanations for the JFK assassination. Listened to the audio version read by Stefan Rudnicki
