The Cairo Affair by Olen Steinhauer

4.0

Don't pay attention to anybody that compares this to LeCarre -- it's ridiculous, like comparing Katy Perry to Aretha. But hey, sometime you're in the mood for Katy Perry. This was solid entertainment, and my second-favorite book of his after the truly great "All the Old Knives."

My favorite line: "Although nearing fifty, he dressed like a hipster, in round glasses and bowling shoes." Perfect way to capture somebody in just a few words.
