The spy who was left behind : Russia, the United States, and the true story of the betrayal and assassination of a CIA agent / Michael Pullara. by Pullara, Michael. Scribner, 2018.

Central Intelligence Agency -- Biography.   Murder -- Georgia (Republic) -- South Ossetia.   Espionage, Russian -- Georgia (Republic) -- South Ossetia. ISBN:  9781501152139 1501152130 Edition:  1st Scribner hardcover ed. Description:  xiii, 336 p., 8 unnumbered p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "On August 8, 1993, a single bullet to the head killed Freddie Woodruff, the CIA's station chief in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Within hours, police had a suspect--a vodka-soaked village bumpkin named Anzor Sharmaidze. A tidy explanation quickly followed: it was a tragic accident. US diplomats hailed Georgia's swift work, and both countries breathed a sigh of relief. Yet the bullet that killed Woodruff was never found and key witnesses have since retracted their testimony, saying they were beaten and forced to identify Sharmaidze. But if he didn't do it, who did? Those who don't buy the official explanation think the answer lies in the spy games that played out on Russia's frontier following the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. Woodruff was an early actor in a dangerous drama. American spies were moving into newborn nations previously dominated by Soviet intelligence. Russia's security apparatus, resentful and demoralized, was in turmoil, its nominal loyalty to a pro-Western course set by President Boris Yeltsin, shredded by hardline spooks and generals who viewed the Americans as a menace. At the time when Woodruff was stationed there, Georgia was a den of intrigue. It had a big Russian military base and was awash with former and not-so-former Soviet agents. Shortly before Woodruff was shot, veteran CIA officer Aldrich Ames--who would soon be unmasked as a KGB mole--visited him on agency business. In short order, Woodruff would be dead and Ames, in prison for life. Buckle up, because The Spy Who Was Left Behind reveals the full-throttle, little-known thrilling tale"--Publisher.
