A Good Spy Leaves No Trace

Spies, lies and family ties. Her father was a man cloaked in mystery, a man of contradictions.

James M. Eichelberger was a writer, philosopher, decorated WWII intelligence officer, CIA Agent, and oil industry consultant who died a penniless alcoholic. After he left her family in Beirut, Lebanon when she was six years old, Anne E. Tazewell only saw her father seven times before his death in 1989.

A Good Spy Leaves No Trace is part ghost story, part secret political history, and part family memoir. It is an investigation of love, loss, oil, and the alternatives, a story both personal and political.
