His latest masterpiece, The Mulberry Bush, burns with the fury of the wronged, as personal vendetta and political idealism collide.In a rose garden in Buenos Aires, an unnamed American spy meets the beautiful daughter of a famous Argentinean revolutionary. He becomes infatuated, and so does she. But he is no ordinary spy—he is an off-the-books lone wolf who spent his first five years working for “Headquarters” hunting terrorists in the Middle East. Unbeknownst to his lenient handlers, he is loyal to a hidden agenda: to avenge his father, who was laughed out of Headquarters many years before. In the sultry young Argentinean, the spy thinks he has found an ally. Like his father, her parents also met a terrible fate. But as his path becomes further entwined with hers, the spy finds himself caught in a perilous web of passions, affiliations, and lies that spans three continents and stretches back to the Cold War.A potent and seductive novel, The Mulberry Bush explores what happens when the most powerful political motivator is revenge.

The Mulberry Bush, by Charles McCarry Review Praise for The Mulberry Bush:“Blending old-time yarns with a contemporary saga of payback and political intrigue . . . McCarry merges time-honored tradecraft with the technology of the day . . . [His] real-life cloak-and-dagger work is long past. But he’s clearly banked plenty of know-how from those days, and he continues to parcel it out in entertaining spy novels like this one.”—Washington Post“Charles McCarry is criminally underrated: The former CIA operative has been writing brilliant thrillers under the radar for decades—the latest being The Mulberry Bush . . . McCarry’s twisty plot doubles back on itself multiple times, keeping us off-kilter to the last moment.”—Seattle Times“America’s finest spy writer, Charles McCarry, proves impressively up-to-date with the methods and tensions of international espionage in The Mulberry Bush.”—Guardian (UK), “best crime and thriller books of 2015”“Is there a thriller writer alive today who both worked for the CIA and wrote speeches for Eisenhower? Yes, there is—and McCarry, after his spectacular early career, has achieved remarkable success as a novelist. In his latest book, a young spy infiltrates the CIA to avenge the death of his father.”—Financial Times, “The FT’s best books of 2015”“This exceptional spy thriller, from the exceptionally talented McCarry, starts slowly and builds to an incredible ending . . . A worldwide cat-and-mouse game. Grade: A”—Cleveland Plain Dealer“[An] exceptional spy novel . . . McCarry spins his riveting story in unexpected ways; the writing is always subdued but brilliant, leading unsuspecting readers to collide straight into the unforgiving wall of a stunning ending.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Treat the mystery lover on your list to this thrilling Buenos Aires-based spy tale from The Shanghai Factor author Charles McCarry.”—Parade“Veteran spy thriller novelist and former CIA covert operative Charles McCarry follows the body-strewn, undercover trail of a hot-shot agent determined to avenge his father . . . A little Ian Fleming, a little Charles Cumming, a little Barry Eisler—McCarry is in fine company.”—Shelf Awareness“Like Shakespeare’s Prince Hamlet, the protagonist in this new novel from McCarry is a young man set on avenging the grievous wrong done to his deceased father . . . Just as Hamlet ends with an intricately choreographed scene of violent death, this novel concludes in a crescendo of lethal treachery, but not before McCarry, who has mined the rich vein of spycraft for decades, dazzles us with smart dialog, fascinating characters, and local exotica of wonderful variety and authenticity.”—Library Journal“McCarry is a well regarded espionage novelist . . . As one frequently discovers in the world of espionage very little is as it appears and The Mulberry Bush’s protagonist . . . must do battle with his own employers. Needless to say, McCarry knows how the game is played and tells it well.”—Our Man in Boston“Classic noir themes of trust, motive, and tarnished ideals spin through this mordant, cerebral thriller about an agent on a two-tiered mission. Veteran thriller author and former CIA op McCarry opens this latest with a cracking good setup.”—Kirkus Reviews “McCarry is one of the finest spy novelists in the world, with 13 masterful novels to prove it . . . Serpentine and stylish, McCarry has the late Eric Ambler’s elegant sureness of touch.”—Daily Mail (UK)“A slow, cerebral thriller than nonetheless offers a persuasive account of the realities of the espionage life.”—Mail on Sunday (UK), “Thriller of the Week”Praise for Charles McCarry:"Charles McCarry is perhaps the best ever."—Lee Child, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series, on The Shanghai Factor"Recognized as a spy novelist of uncommon gifts."—Washington Post, on The Old Boys

Russian spies, Argentinian terrorists, and an angry son (4.5 stars) By TChris The early chapters of The Mulberry Bush are the story of an estranged father and son, told from the son’s perspective. The father was at one time a capable spy who angered (or embarrassed) the wrong people at Headquarters. When father and son reunite, the aftermath of their meeting gives the son a new purpose in life -- vengeance.So begins the unnamed protagonist’s life as a spy, a career that he fashions on his own terms. Eventually he falls in love with Luz Aguilar, whose revolutionary/terrorist parents were killed by the police in Argentina. The protagonist believes that Luz can lead him to the Russians who control the Argentinians, but he also wants her help to pursue an agenda of his own.The protagonist jets from Buenos Aires to Bogotá to Bucharest, playing the espionage game in his own way and aggravating his masters in the best tradition of spy fiction. Key characters include the protagonist’s stuffy superiors at Headquarters, a couple of Russians who may or may not want to betray their country’s secrets, a priest who once lived in Russia, and a surgeon who was close to Luz’ father and who is now Luz’ friend/protector. All of these characters have secrets that the protagonist must ferret out if he is to survive.Many of the usual espionage plot threads are present in The Mulberry Bush. Are the apparent traitors really traitors or are they double agents? Are agents accused of being traitors because they really are or because the other side wants to destroy them with the weapon of suspicion? Is there a mole at Headquarters? Was Luz’ father working for the Russians, for Headquarters, or only for himself? The reader’s challenge is to work out what’s going on with the Russians, the Argentinians, and the Americans while getting a handle on just where the protagonist is headed.Tension builds slowly and steadily as the story nears its climax. Charles McCarry isn’t a writer who needs to use artificial means (like the single-sentence paragraphs and two page chapters favored by many modern thriller writers) to move the story at a good pace. He writes vivid prose and creates complex, convincing, multifaceted characters. My only two complaints are that (1) the protagonist’s initial goal is clear but his plan for achieving it is ill-defined, leaving me wondering what he really hoped to achieve, and (2) the two Russians each disappear from the story in a way that left me unsatisfied. In the end, those qualms are minor. There was more than enough intrigue in The Mulberry Bush to ensure my rapt attention, and the plot twists kept me off-balance, as a spy novel should. If I could, I would give The Mulberry Bush 4 1/2 stars.

Another CIA bar tale told that defies credibility By sensigk While I am a huge fan of Charles McCarry novels, this is one of his weakest attempts when compared to his former work. It feels like a short story with thin plot lines, two dimensional characters, and not much of it holds up to critical analysis. Like a long story told to you in a bar over more than a few drinks, the story comes to an a hurried ending when the owner shouts 'last call' and everyone knows it is time to go home. This seems very odd when McCarry has been known for meticulous development of CIA centered spy novels that span decades and wars and generations within the same family line. Here we have a rather narrowly defined lead character who suddenly wants revenge for his father, a former CIA agent that is wronged by the Agency. That he then easily joins the CIA and becomes a rather magical assassin of terrorists in the middle east. It further happens that he develops a plan to destroy the CIA from the inside, by going to Argentina and getting involved with their old pro Marxist terrorists, and mixing it up with the Russians at the same time. And the lead character is pure Teflon. It feels more like a weird dream scape where Charles just patches scenes together without much depth or reasonableness and ties things up quickly at the end. As with most stories told in a bar by someone who has had too much to drink, you are polite enough to let the teller finish the tale, leave to go home and think to yourself, what a stupid story that was and I was a fool to waste my time listening.
8 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Excellent first half; perplexing second half By David McCarry is a favorite of mine and this book begins with his customary excellent writing--crisp, persuasive and compelling.Sadly, after putting an engrossing plot in motion, the characters begin--and, worse yet end--in peculiar, unexplained ways. The result is a tremendous letdown.
