The Spring of 1966 is a great time to be a young spy in Argentina: the government is about to be overthrown, and CIA agent Vera Kelly has infiltrated a group of passionate, boozy, possibly KGB-affiliated university students.

But when the coup shuts down Buenos Aires, Vera must choose between compromising herself or her mission to stay alive. Readers who like a spy novel will enjoy the wiretapping, double-crossing agents, and other spy-jinks, but the driving force of this novel are the secrets Vera keeps. Who truly is Vera Kelly?
