'Breathlessly gripping and truly terrifying' Simon Sebag Montefiore

The second novel from the author of Damascus Station ('One of the best spy thrillers in years' The Times)

CIA operatives Sia and Max enter Russia to recruit Vladimir Putin's moneyman. Sia works for a London firm that conceals the wealth of the super-rich. Max's family business in Mexico - a CIA front since the 1960s - is a farm that breeds high-end racehorses. They pose as a couple, and their targets are Vadim, Putin's private banker, and his wife Anna, who is both a banker and an intelligence officer herself...
