The title uses two classic title archetypes, the Protagonist, who’s codename is ‘Condor’ and the Defining Moment: the six days that he’s on the run.

One of the all time classic paranoid thrillers of the 1970's and a sentimental favorite of mine. James Grady's first novel, written and published when he was in in his mid-twenties. It's very much a product of the time when he wrote it. Watergate paranoia, Vietnam, disillusionment with the U.S. government, the anti-authority attitude of the Baby Boomers and more all play a part in the plot. The work bores Malcolm, as do his colleagues, one of whom has noticed anomalies in the deliveries of novels to the department. Malcolm thinks the discrepancies are just clerical errors. Day One Grady has contributed journalism to Slate, The Washington Post, Washingtonian, American Film, The New Republic, Sport, Parade, Perfect 10, The Great Falls (Montana) Tribune, The Shelby (Montana) Promoter, The Daily Missoulian (Montana), PoliticsDaily.com and the Journal of Asian Martial Arts.

I’m talking more about a catalog of verified historical events that range from ethically bankrupt to dehumanizing to overtly criminal. This includes the CIA forcing prisoners to partake in drug experiments to study mind control ( Project MK Ultra), the FBI staging acts of terrorism so they can “foil” the plot, the CIA planting war propaganda with compliant media (as documented in former New York Times journalist Tim Weiner’s book Legacy of Ashes ), agencies spying on Senate intel committees and publicly lying about it, and the FBI sending letters to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. instructing him to kill himself. The list goes on. The adventures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, a team generally regarded as seeking justice, can be compared to the adventures of Rex Stout's two most famous characters, Nero Wolf and Archie Goodwin.” Mira Sorvino as Marty Frost (season 1), Bob's former lover who leads the official investigation into Joe's alleged crime.
