Russian expert OWEN MATTHEWS is the author of two highly praised works of non-fiction, Stalin's Children and An Impeccable Spy, and two acclaimed historical thrillers, Black Sun and Red Traitor. As a war correspondent, he covered conflicts in Bosnia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq and Ukraine, and for ten years he was was Newsweek's Moscow bureau chief. He divides his time between Rome and Moscow.
Matthews skilfully balances the exhilarating thrill of the chase
with the conflict between duty, self-interest and justice in his
hero's heart. A fine send off for a well-accomplished series.

A white-knuckle ride through the grey paranoia of Cold War Soviet
Russia, which Owen Matthews conjures up quite brilliantly.
*SHOTS magazine*
Superlative . . . balances thrills with historical fact (and
speculation) in equal measure and it races you along to its
breath-taking conclusion.
*CRIME TIME*
Impressive . . . Matthews' knowledge of the USSR and the Cold War
gives the novel the feeling of authenticity . . . a personal note
at the end shows why Vasin's struggles are both so convincing and
so affecting.
