Publisher's Summary

Adam Lang has been Britain’s longest serving—and most controversial—prime minister of the last half century. And now that he’s left office, he’s accepted one of history’s largest cash advances to compose a tell-all (or at least, tell-some) memoir of his life and years of power.
As pressure mounts for Lang to complete this magnum opus, he hires a professional ghostwriter to finish the book. As he sets to work, the ghostwriter discovers many more secrets than Lang intends to reveal - secrets with the power to alter world politics, secrets with the power to kill.
Tense, gripping, and savvy, The Ghost Writer puts forth all the author’s long-term know-how about high stakes politics, journalism, and governmental deception. Set in America, on Martha’s Vineyard, The Ghost Writer is Harris’s finest foray into political fiction since Fatherland.

CIA as villain

The story is intriguing, if rather harsh on the CIA. The reading would be excellent, except for the reader's propensity to avoid pronouncing the final s in so many words. These include not only plural words, but also simple ones like "us" and "was". Apparently he thinks it would sound elegant. It doesn't; it sounds ridiculous.
