168: A Spy Novel by a Former CIA Officer

<p>David McCloskey used to work in the CIA. Now he's a novelist and does most of his writing in coffee shops on Greenville Avenue. Which ones? He wouldn't say. Even after Zac and Tim subjected him to extraordinary rendition, he wouldn't break. He also declined to read a sex scene from his new novel, <a href= "https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324050759"><em>Moscow X</em></a>, so Tim did the honors, which was gross. For more about David and his wife, Abby, check out <a href= "https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2022/february/the-marvelous-mccloskeys/">Holland Murphy's profile</a> of the couple in which we wondered if they might be the most interesting couple in Lakewood.
