"THE COMPANY WE KEEP is the best true-life spy story I've ever read. It combines the daring and danger of real espionage operations with the bureaucratic craziness and emotional dislocation of life under cover. As we live with these two endearingly scruffy characters and watch them try to figure out the world and each other, we realize that the payoff for them is the biggest secret there is--love. You'll find yourself rooting for these two vagabond spies, and you won't want their exciting and moving story to end. When's the sequel?"--David Ignatius, columnist for The Washington Post and New York Times bestselling author of BODY OF LIES "THE COMPANY WE KEEP is a fascinating behind the scenes look into the lives of two very special CIA field officers -- a family -- committed to protecting America from terrorists and spies. The book will illuminate the dark world of intelligence gathering that very few people ever see. It's filled with ground truth, tradecraft and operational details. Bob and Dayna are true heroes for their bravery and service. You will not be disappointed."--Fred Burton, VP Intelligence, STRATFOR, and author of GHOST: CONFESSIONS OF A COUNTERTERRORISM AGENT From the Hardcover edition., "The Company We Keepis the best true-life spy story I've ever read…You'll find yourself rooting for these two vagabond spies, and you won't want their exciting and moving story to end."--David Ignatius, New York Times bestselling author ofBody of Lies "Funny, frightening, ironic, and deeply moving, this is an utterly engrossing thrill ride through the hall of mirrors that is modern espionage…A wonderful book."--Richard North Patterson, New York Times bestselling author ofDegree of GuiltandIn the Name of Honor "Provides a spot-on and compelling portrait of real life inside the CIA; the periods of boredom and frustration loudly punctuated by fast-moving and sometimes frightening, sometimes amusing intelligence operations.

Synopsis
A real-life "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Company We Keep" is a portrait by bestselling CIA operative Robert Baer ("See No Evil") and his CIA shooter wife, Dayna, of life as it's really lived by a CIA couple., Robert Baer was known inside the CIA as perhaps the best operative working the Middle East. But if his career was all that a spy might aspire to, his personal life was a brutal illustration of everything a spy is asked to sacrifice. Dayna Williamson thought of herself as just an ordinary California girl. But she was always looking to get closer to the edge. When she joined the CIA, she was initially tasked with Agency background checks, but she quickly distinguished herself as someone who could thrive in the field. Tapped to serve in some of the world's most dangerous places, she discovered an inner strength and resourcefulness she'd never known-but she also came to see that the spy life exacts a heavy toll. When Bob and Dayna met on a mission in Sarajevo, it wasn't love at first sight. But there was something there, a spark. And as the danger escalated and their affection for each other grew, they realized it was time to leave "the Company," to somehow rediscover the people they'd once been. As worldly as they both were, the couple didn't realize at first that turning in their Agency ID cards would not be enough to put their covert past behind.
