曾入圍普立茲獎決選的調查記者Bryan Denson，在新書《The Spy’s Son》道出一個教人揪心震撼、關於愛與背叛的間諜父子故事。

吉姆．尼可森（Jim Nicholson）是美國中情局犯下間諜罪位階最高的官員，也是唯一一位兩度被判間諜罪的人。納桑．尼可森（Nathan Nicholson）則是願意為父親做任何事的兒子，甚至說服自己罔顧法律與道德，替獄中父親繼續向俄國間諜傳信。

這一切是如何發生的？

吉姆當年是中情局的當紅炸子雞，卓越的能力博得「蝙蝠俠」的外號。白天，他率領精英官員追蹤全球恐怖行動的線索；夜裡，他是駕駛小箱型車趕回家與三個孩子吃晚餐的單親爸爸。然而，吉姆有著另一面秘密人生。他在全球多處與俄國情報組織秘密碰頭，洩漏大量機密文件，包括數百名中情局訓練員的身分。1997年，吉姆尼可森成為被判間諜罪位階最高的中情局官員。但他的背叛行動並未就此停止。

在聯邦監獄服刑時，吉姆把一位他最信任的人訓練為自己的替身：小兒子納桑。納桑二十多歲時曾在軍中訓練嚴重受傷，此後鬱鬱寡歡，甚至試圖自殺，對他的父親而言，是最容易下手的獵物。當吉姆要求納桑將訊息夾帶出獄，傳送給俄國的對口情報員時，納桑發現自己不僅有機會成就大事，而且終於能讓父親以他為豪。為此他開始奔走各地傳信，為隱匿行動承受巨大的精神壓力，直到落網。

《The Spy’s Son》驚人地紀錄了一個破碎的家庭與複雜的國際情偵詐騙事件，讀者跟隨作者的文字進入充滿政府與家族秘密的蛛網，目睹背叛國家與親人付出的沉重代價，而核心卻是一個關於父子關係，愛與背叛的心碎故事。

Bryan Denson is a staff reporter for The Oregonian newspaper. He has won the George Polk Award and has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, among many other awards and recognitions.

"In a stunning piece of reporting Bryan Denson has unraveled one of the strangest spy stories in American history and written a haunting book as fast paced and as exciting as the best spy novel. It will keep readers awake as he takes them deep into a world of international espionage populated by KGB and CIA agents, American spy catchers and a family they'll never forget-and it's all true.” ——Robert Lindsey, author of The Falcon and the Snowman

"We always think of the damage a spy does to his country, and to his colleagues and friends, but seldom to his family. This is the solemn and excruciating tale of a real spy who intentionally and selfishly used his son as a go-between himself and his Russian masters after he had been caught and imprisoned, and nearly ruined his son's life into the bargain. It is a splendid read."——Frederick P. Hitz, former CIA Inspector general, Senior Lecturer at University of Virginia, and author of The Great Game: The Myths and Reality of Espionage
