| Publisher Description: Canadian psychologist David Stone finds a dead body in the trunk of his car just after crossing the Canada/United States border. He doesn't know at the time the discovery is going to be the best thing that happens to him for the next eighteen hours. When CIA agent Rita Brickston, dressed to kill, enters the Turkish Embassy in Bern, Switzerland she gets what she wants. A microdot. It is a microdot of great value containing the name of a Russian SVR mole inside the CIA. With only her wits and skills available, all Rita has to do is get herself and the information safely back to the United States. Alexei Petrovsky is a man with an ethical code. He is also ruthless, deadly and one of the best Russian counter-intelligence has. His mission is simple. Stop Rita Brickston. What ensues is a deadly cat and mouse game that begins in Bern and leads on a crooked trail through Europe, Upstate New York and Southern Ontario to the door of David and Mary Stone and their two children. What follows for the Stone family is a perilous journey into the dark, lethal world of international espionage. A world that cares little for the lives of ordinary citizens. |
