Valerie Plame is the CIA covert operative whose cover was exposed by several members of the Bush administration in 2003, ending her career as an undercover agent. Now she is writing a series of international thrillers, featuring undercover CIA agent Vanessa Pierson. “Blowback” was released last year and her new novel is “Burned.” Valerie Plame is in the Northwest to speak at Town Hall Seattle, presented by the University Bookstore.
