Hovey's Deception — Philip Ross

"You've been following the news about the Janos Czerny trial"
"Sure. The Agency screwed up. You left your courier out to dry"
"It does look that way"
"You want me to believe that's not what happened"
"The clincher in the trial -- the evidence to prove the Czechs hadn't just framed Czerny with false documents--was Professor Hovey's confession"
"True'
"There is no doubt that the confession was genuine. Hovey had the identification code and recognition signals; he says he was assigned to the pick up by the CIA. He wasn't'
"So you say"
"So I know. We never contacted Hovey" "Who did?"
"We're hiring you to find out"
