Betrayed by his own country and tried for treason, former spy Charles Jenkins survived an undercover Russian operation gone wrong. Exonerated, bitter, and safe, the retired family man is through with duplicitous spy games. Then he learns of a woman isolated in Moscowโs notorious Lefortovo Prison.
If itโs Paulina Ponomayova, the agent who sacrificed her life to save his, Jenkins canโt leave her behind. But thereโs no guarantee itโs her. Or proof Paulina is still alive. To find out, Jenkins must return to Russia. Next move: blackmail Viktor Federov, a former Russian officer with his own ax to grind, into helping him infiltrate Lefortovo. The enemy who once pursued Jenkins across three continents is now the only man Jenkins can trust.
Every step of the wayโfrom Moscow to Scandinavia to the open oceanโtheyโre hunted by a brutal Russian agent on a killer quest of his own. Out of loyalty to Paulinaโdead or aliveโJenkins is putting everyoneโs life on the line for a new mission that could be his last.
