Filled with actual events, historical figures, and a true-to-life atmosphere and intrigue that pull the reader in and don’t let go, This WWII story proves that Christopher Hyde continues to carve an indelible niche in the world of international thrillers. November 1941. Freelance news photographer Jane Todd and Scotland Yard detective inspector Morris Black are recruited by Wild Bill Donovan of the OSS. Their orders are to trace an artifact rumored to exist from the bloody days of the Bolshevik Revolution. The missing relic may hold the key to forging or destroying the balance of power in the war that is sure to involve the U.S. As the long-cold trail heats up for Jane and Black, close on their heels are a brutal Nazi assassin, a mysterious countess with a very shady past, and the lethally charming head of NKVD operations in America.
