How Not to Become a Spy

Justin Lifflander
Biographies & Memoirs

Justin Lifflander always dreamed of joining the Cold War’s front lines as an intelligence officer. After internships with the State Department and FBI, he finally lands a job at the US Embassy in Moscow. But his role isn’t spycraft—it’s janitorial oversight at a nuclear missile factory in provincial Russia, far from the thrills he imagined.

Assigned to monitor the factory alongside a quirky American team, Justin quickly learns that Russians are as friendly—and as suspicious—as any American. Local KGB agents assign young women, “escorts,” to keep watch, and Justin soon finds himself captivated by Sofia, a beautiful escort caught in her own web of manipulation.

As tensions rise, can Justin navigate his growing feelings without compromising his mission—or himself?
