4 Cassettes, 6 hrs.Performance by Frank MullerThis is a story of heroes and secrets. In the entrance of the CIA headquarters looms a huge marble wall into which seventy-one stars are carved--each representing an agent who has died in the line of duty.

The identity of these "nameless stars" has been one of the CIA’s most closely guarded secrets for the fifty-three years of the agency’s exis...
