Synopsis
With the layers of intrigue and deception, machismo, and complex sexual and political relationships, the CIA is a made-for-Mailer milieu. Harry Hubbard, son of a CIA hero, craves his father's approval. He follows his father's career in the CIA, with his father's friend and colleague Hugh Tremont Montague ("Harlot") as his mentor. The novel chronicles the growth of Harry's personality as he pursues his own intelligence career. Populated with historical and fictional characters alike, HARLOT'S GHOST offers a portrait of the day-to-day workings of the CIA.

Industry Reviews
"Highly entertaining...brimfull of the most original anecdotes I have read in years."
Chicago Sun-Times - Howard Frank Mosher

"We are not in the fairyland of James Bond...but a real tough world ennobled by Mailer's literary skill....He was the right man to exalt the history of the CIA into something better than history."
Washington Post Book World - Anthony Burgess

"Interweave[s] the real and the fictional so skillfully that what we read acquires a double authority: the authority of convincing fiction as well as fact. He treats the CIA as one gigantic ...organism and shows us not only how it breathes, moves, hunts, feeds, but also how it dreams....Immense, fascinating, and in large part brilliant."
Independent (London) - Salman Rushdie

"I have a special fondness for Balzac's 'A Harlot High and Low'. Without that book, I do not know whether I would have ended up with another title that I like--'Harlot's Ghost'."
Norman Mailer
