The Spy Who Loathed Me (Paperback)

"Hollywood, 1982"
For FBI Special Agent Terrence Tillberry, being in love with Petra Tarasova is wonderful, except for two things: First, she's in the KGB. Second, she can't stand him. And Terrence isn't exactly a prize. Since his divorce, he's ballooned in weight thanks to a diet of Hostess fruit pies and Twinkies, and that's only one of the reasons his boss hates him. The financial strain of caring for his increasingly demented mother hasn't helped Terrence feel any less desperate, either. Luck seems to turn his way when he discovers a secret list of CIA operatives. Selling the list to Petra might be just the ticket to win her heart-and solve the rest of his problems, too. Petra has other goals, though, and to reach them she draws Terrence into the ultimate showbiz fantasy. But when the bodies start piling up, Terrence realizes that his problems are only just beginning.
