For forty years, Western intelligence agents have known a terrible secret: The Russians have a mole-code-named Talbot-inside the CIA. The Soviet conspiracy against America has its roots in the World War II OSS-the predecessor of the CIA-and now what began in the fiery ruins of that conflict will end in a final war against America. With nonstop action flashing between an old OSS law firm in Manhattan and a Russian weekend mansion on Long Island, this gripping tale of deceit, betrayal, and revenge culminates in a stunning finale. For the U.S., time is running out. For Talbot, the time is now.
