THE SPY WHO VANISHED Stories

Narrator Daniel Henning breathes life into these three stories focused on Yuri Kozlov, "Russia's most famous spy." Against the backdrop of Putin's war with Ukraine, Kozlov comes to the U.S. under the pretense of defecting, but the CIA has questions about his legitimacy. As his handlers attempt to get information and parade him around with politicians and celebrities, listeners will find themselves invested in learning the truth about Kozlov and the motivation behind his actions. Henning expertly portrays Kozlov's arrogance and smugness while also showcasing how he changes in the U.S. Henning also creates a wide range of believable supporting characters--both Russian and American. This quick listen encompassing all three parts of the trilogy is engaging and enjoyable. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
