Readers of Baer's earlier books come for the insider detail and the mole-hunt narrative. Reception is split on how much of the Fourth Man case is proven versus alleged.
The Fourth Man is a work of investigative reporting by Robert Baer, a former CIA officer and New York Times bestselling author. It tells the story of the hunt for a KGB spy in the top ranks of the CIA. The book also looks at how Russian spies blinded the US to the rise of Putin and to Russia's dangerous future.
The story begins after the arrest of KGB spy Aldrich Ames. The CIA launched another investigation to make sure there was no other double agent in its ranks. Three of the agency's best spy hunters led it. They were women who had devoted their lives to counterintelligence, and only a few people knew the investigation existed.
They methodically investigated their own bosses and colleagues. They turned up loose threads, suspicious activity and shocking intelligence from the CIA's best Russian asset. The book follows them to a conclusion that, whether true or not, would shake American intelligence to its core. It ties that history to the situation with Russia today.
