Just re-released as an e-book, this Washington Post best seller takes place as the Soviet Union collapses, and pits Russians against Russians in Washington without any US citizens ever finding out. If you like the TV hit "The Americans," you'll like a novel that the NY Times said, "powerfully evokes the espionage agent's mind-set of distrust, and piles the insecurity created by the Soviet coup onto the already treacherous state of being a spy within a system of spying."

Bought outright by Paramount pictures, the Washington Post called the novel, "sparkling and fast paced." Kirkus, "a crackjack spy yarn." Publishers Weekly, "This well wrought tale perfectly captures the undercover agent's sense of paranoia, the inability to trust anyone or anything and the consequences of that terrible loneliness."
