My Life as a CIA Spy:

I Was Never a CIA Spy

“Everyone wants life to make sense—for there to be some grand conspiracy, especially one that we are at the center of.”

Working at the CIA changed author Michael Garner forever. During his 3-year stint at the Agency, Garner experienced what appeared to be a mélange of surveillance in which the US government or another entity penetrated every aspect of his professional and private life. He watched words change on his screen in real time on his personal computer at home, and items in his apartment were altered while he was in another room. When he described what appeared to be happening to a senior CIA manager, she said it was “plausible” that the Agency was responsible.

There were hints that Garner was being subtly recruited by the CIA’s Directorate of Operations to be a case officer—in everyday language, a “spy.” Other hints suggested a malicious counterintelligence operation to pin him as a traitor. Was he going crazy? What was the truth?

For over a decade, Garner thought he’d never know what happened… until he met Jess, a former case officer who spelled out plainly who may have been responsible. This book describes it all—and lays out what was probably really going on.
