<strong>THE SECOND NOVEL FROM FORMER CIA OFFICER AND THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ***<em>THE TIMES</em> THRILLER OF THE YEAR*** <em>DAMASCUS STATION</em> ('One of the best spy thrillers in years' <em>THE TIMES</em>)</strong>
<strong>A daring CIA operation threatens chaos in the Kremlin.
But can Langley trust the Russian at its center?</strong>
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...
