A Novel Based on the Lives of CIA Whistleblowers
Behind the sealed doors of America's most secretive agency, a handful of men and women witnessed truths too dangerous to ignore - and chose to speak.
Shadows of Truth is a powerful adaptation of real-life CIA whistleblowers who risked their careers, freedom, and safety to expose corruption, abuse, and betrayal at the highest levels of U.S. intelligence. Retold in a timeline that moves across decades, each chapter follows one individual - from Vietnam to the War on Terror, from Cold War proxy battles to the digital surveillance age.
