Brussels, 1980. Seventeen-year-old David Jourbet watches his father die in his arms, gunned down in the rain by a faceless assassin. The CIA calls it justice. Michel Jourbet was a traitor who stole millions in diamonds from a Soviet mine. But David knows the truth: his father was no thief. For eighteen years, that truth has burned inside him, driving him to become the kind of operative who can finally uncover what really happened.Zurich, 1998. A mysterious death leads David to a Swiss banker with secrets about his father's murder, and a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of American power. Following a trail of blood and deception from Sofia to the frozen heart of Siberia, David discovers that his father's murder was ordered to cover up a plot that rigged the 1980 presidential election. Now the same people who killed his father have taken the woman David loves, and they're willing to let a nuclear bomb detonate on Russian soil to keep their secrets buried.On the Trans-Siberian Railway, with a nuclear weapon counting down and thousands of innocent lives in the balance, David Jourbet faces an impossible choice: Stop the bomb and let the conspirators escape, or expose the truth and watch the world burn. In a desperate race against time, betrayal, and the ghosts of the Cold War, David will learn that some acts of revenge require the ultimate sacrifice-and that clearing his father's name may cost him everything he has left.
