Synopsis
Finn is a veteran MI6 operative stationed in Moscow. In the guise of an amiable trade secretary, he has penetrated deep into the dangerous labyrinth that is Russia under Vladimir Putin to discover some of its darkest secrets, thanks to a high-level source deep within the Kremlin. The youngest female colonel in the KGB, Anna is the ambitious daughter of one of the former Soviet Union's elite espionage families. Charged with helping to make Russia strong again under Putin, she is ordered to spy on Finn and discover the identity of his mole. At the dawn of the new millennium, these adversaries find themselves brought together by an unexpected love that becomes the only truth they can trust. When Finn uncovers a shocking and ingenious plan-hatched in the depths of the Cold War-to control the European continent and shift the balance of world power, he and Anna are thrust into a deadly plot in which friend and foe wear the same face. With time running out, they will race across Europe and risk everything-career, reputation, and even their own lives-to expose the terrifying truth.

Review
Alex Dryden's brilliant and unforgettable novel has told me more about the making of modern Russia than I could learn from all books of journalism and contemporary history combined. That it has done so in the form of a compulsively readable spy story, love story and moral fable is nothing short of miraculous (Stephen Fry)
Alex Dryden is the real thing. If he got any realer, he would step out of the pages and physically punch you, with both elegance and regret (Hugh Laurie)
... terrifying, quite frankly ... chillingly unputdownable - everything you didn't want to know about Putin but were afraid to ask (Emma Thompson)
...could not be better timed... [Dryden] is grimly authoritative on the power plays of Putin and the new Russia (Daily Express)
Book Description
An upmarket, well informed and incredibly topical novel that marks the return of the spy thriller, in the vein of John le Carre and Robert Harris
