McCarry's Paul Christopher novels constitute the best series of spy novels ever written by an American, and I can't for the life of me understand why they've never quite caught on. I seem to recall reading that Overlook Press, in conjunction with the publication of "Old Boys", was going to reissure his earlier, o/p novels. If so, there's no indication of it on their website. Should Overlook fail to produce, these books are worth the effort of tracking them down on used-book sites. All of them were in print, at least as Signet paperbacks, as recently as the early 90s, so they can't be all that difficult to find.

Mike Padgett's on to something.The McCarry novels are available ridiculously cheaply at Half.com.

Don't forget Shelley's Heart which is a riveting and buff thriller about stealing a presidential election—was it the 2000 one?

I read the last McCarry novel - Second Sight - and have been looking for the previous Paul Christopher novels at used book stores. I've obtained Last Supper, Secret Lovers, Tears of Autumn and Miernik Dossier. In the Second Sight, McCarry says this is the 'seventh' of the Paul Christopher series. I can't figure out what the other two novels are. Anyone know? I'm hoping to read the series from the 1st to last and want to find/buy the other two. McCarry's an incredible writer. Can't believe I haven't heard about him before.

I recently found all of McCarry's novels at alibris.com, and in hardback.
