The classic techno-thriller of superpower espionage from New York Times bestselling master of suspense Stuart Woods! Sifting through reams of seemingly unrelated intelligence, CIA analyst Katherine Rule discovers a chilling pattern: an ultrasecret Baltic submarine base...a crafty Russian spy-master in command...a carefully planned invasion about to be launched from dark waters. Her suspicions, however, are dismissed by those higher up; her theory, they say, is too crazy to be true. But to Katherine, it's just crazy enough to succeed - unless she can stop it. If she's right, an attack sub has already penetrated friendly waters. Worse yet, the enemy has penetrated deep into her own life, so deep she can touch him. And in this game, one wrong touch can mean Armageddon.

Good Espionage Novel From Woods:
This is Woods' first and only espionage ladden novel (The Short Forever contains some but not this level). It is reminescent of Clancy's Hunt for Red October.

A vey good read.
Shallow but worth a read:
Mysterious submarines prowl the coast of Sweden, while a young an ambitious Soviet submarine commander receives new orders. A not so young, but even more ambitious Soviet general plans spy-missions from a secret base made to look like any prosperous town in the western world. Meanwhile, Kathryn Rule, a non-nonsense intelligence analyst, sees growing signs of Russian focus in the Baltic... "Deep Lie" isn't the deepest of the submarine technothrillers that invaded bookshelves in the late 1980's (whether... more info
Lighter weight spy novel...:
...but quite fun to read. Although I am sure most people, including Mr. Woods himself, are tired of this comparison, this book is very Clancy-ish in its Russia vs. U.S. one-upmanship and its submarine and weaponry technological detail work.
The story is told from two alternating viewpoints: the first from CIA department head Katherine Rule who thinks she has discovered a plot in which Russia will be invading Sweden. Not one of her superiors believes her and she must go behind their backs to continue... more info
