The Rest is Classified's David McCloskey on The Seventh Floor with Tim Shipman

🔎 "Most mole hunts end in an unsatisfying fashion…" – David McCloskey

Former CIA analyst-turned-bestselling spy novelist and The Rest is Classified Podcast Host David McCloskey returns to Spybrary for an illuminating conversation with journalist and espionage fan The Sunday Times' Chief Political Commentator Tim Shipman. 

From Langley’s shadowy corridors to the gator-infested wilds of Florida, McCloskey’s latest thriller, The Seventh Floor, delivers a modern-day mole hunt infused with betrayal, thrills and intrigue.

 They discuss McCloskey's journey from a promising debut author to an international expert on espionage, his new podcast 'The Rest Is Classified', and his reflections on the Syrian conflict. The conversation delves into the psychological dynamics of regime change, the challenges of writing fiction versus non-fiction, and the development of McCloskey's protagonist, Artemis Proctor, in his latest book 'The Seventh Floor'.
