5.0

I really love this novel. It is set in the 19 50s in chicago. the main character is a former scientist who worked on the Manhattan project. she became disillusioned with science after the bomb droppings. She lives in a nice apartment and works at Marshall fields. Her sister basically raised her and is going through a troubled time with her husband. She is contacted by the FBI to spy on her former boyfriend weaver. She decides to do it and sort of falls back in love with weaver. She discovers that Weaver gave secrets to the Communists and Soviet Union and help them develop their own bomb but Weaver's dining of cancer and she tries to come to grips with that. She also falls in love with the FBI agent who is helping her. In the end weavers killed by his wife who is a Soviet asset.
