Secret Identity

You are a retired CIA operative pulled back into service when a senator turns up dead. The kill bears the signature of a long-dead Soviet assassin, but an ambitious FBI agent disagrees. The old spy reluctantly hunts his ghost, and the new agent questions the legend. Brandt here echoes the cool surfaces of Mann, but with a murky, fatalistic core.
