Opis

A wild ride from beginning to end, Owen Dimock's taut thriller follows Serge Khobot as he slowly awakens to what really matters in life-even as he's fighting to survive as one of Stalin's deadliest henchmen in a post-World War II world.

A senior inspector of the Soviet secret police, or NKGB, Serge is used to being on his own-in fact, it's the way he prefers it. But a trip to Paris to learn the inner workings of the embassy, under the guise of assassinating a British mole, proves unexpectedly fortuitous. There he meets Julia, an interpreter for the embassy, who unwittingly helps Serge begin a journey toward a true awakening of his consciousness.

Soon Serge is called in for his biggest mission yet: investigate the suspected presence of a traitor within the NKGB itself. At the conclusion of the assignment, however, he realizes that the shots are now being called by a man who is maneuvering himself to be next in line after Stalin's inevitable death.

As Serge struggles to find a way to stop this would-be dictator, he can't help but wonder: good versus evil, moral versus immoral-doesn't it all depend on what side you're on?
