In Wolf's Clothing

di Alfred Carry (Autore)

Skyhorse, 2025

On July 15, 2018, in Washington, DC, a young Russian woman named Maria Butina was arrested by the FBI and charged with acting as a foreign agent. Branded a “red sparrow,” trained seductress, and Kremlin spook, Butina faced years in prison and a lifetime of infamy. Meanwhile, down Pennsylvania Avenue, Midwesterner Alfred Carry was a rising star in the pro bono world after a win before the DC Court of Appeals. But before he could settle into a new position in private practice, Carry would find himself representing the only Russian arrested for crimes against the American people during the 2016 election. Diving in to protect Butina from the onslaught of the government’s case, the Twitterverse accused Carry of treason. Partners demanded he drop the case. Friends and family worried that he was ruining his career before it had even started. Yet this was only the beginning of a case that would transform Carry’s life and his understanding of American society. A Russian nesting doll of two-time con men, charming billionaires, sniping media figures, CIA back channels, and clandestine operatives, In Wolf’s Clothing: My Story Representing Maria Butina, the Most Famous Woman in Moscow is the first-person account of how a young attorney is thrust into the public eye to defend a woman accused of attacking the country he loves. With the taut storytelling of a spy thriller, the inside baseball of legal nonfiction, and the social insight of a criminal justice exposé, at its core, this is a true and honest account of a young woman swept up in the criminal justice system and the young lawyer sworn to defend her.
