<DIV><B>A circus performer turned superspy is caught up in a Cold War web of conspiracy and death when the body of a murdered CIA agent is discovered in a Hawaiian marine park</B><BR /><BR /> By any definition, Ringling Wallenda Grove is an extraordinary man. The son of expatriate Russian former circus owners, he mastered the arts of acrobatics, animal training, and magic at a young age, distinguished himself as an officer in World War II, and went on to amass a fortune of several million dollars before going into semiretirement.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> But there is another side to this man that few know about. R. W. Grove is a master spy, having honed his trade as a postwar intelligence agent with the OSS. Now the murder of a Company agent, whose body was found floating among the aquatic animals in Honolulu&rsquo;s popular Sea Life Park, is pulling Grove back into the game. A deadly international conspiracy is afoot, involving the nation&rsquo;s most bitter and dangerous enemies, and it centers on a covert CIA operation code-named Zed&mdash;an undertaking so secretive that even the president can know nothing about it.&#160;<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Renowned for his provocative, stunningly realized speculative fiction, Philip Wylie joined the ranks of John le Carr&eacute;, Len Deighton, Robert Ludlum, and other masters of the espionage thriller when he first published <I>The Spy Who Spoke Porpoise</I>. Brimming with action, intrigue, and ingenious twists and turns, the novel brilliantly captures the fears, anxieties, paranoia, and rampant conspiracies that hallmarked the Cold War era.<BR /><BR /></DIV>
