ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An
almost fictional story of love and conspiracy in the times of Hugo
Chvez.

Eva Lpez and Mauricio Bosco are in love. That's nothing unique, except
that neither of the two is who they claim to be: Eva works for the CIA and
Mauricio for the G2, the Cuban intelligence service. Neither knows that the
love of their life is their most ardent rival.


Two Spies in Caracas reveals the two spies' efforts to influence the
revolution that Hugo Chvez is imposing on Venezuela and trying to export to
the rest of Latin America.


We follow Eva and Mauricio while they discover the tactics and secrets of a
government that wants to change everything, and together we peer behind the
curtain that hides the private life of Chvez, the alluring Venezuelan
leader. The story is full of fascinating characters who transport us to the
center of power and money, as well as the front line of the battles waged
daily by those who have nothing to lose.


This is a work of fiction, but the story is inspired by more than two
decades of research, as well as Moiss Nam's direct access to the
best-informed sources about what happened in Hugo Chvez's Venezuela and its
mechanics, its details, and its furtive acts of populism. A surprising,
masterfully narrated story that will leave no one indifferent.


Two Spies in Caracas is a novel of espionage intertwined with a love story
subverted by the passions and betrayals of a revolution.
