From the master of the novel of international intrigue comes a
riveting new book as timely and unsettling as tomorrow''s headlines.
It is summer 1999 in Russia, a country on the threshold of anarchy.
An interim president sits powerless in Moscow as his nation is
wracked by famine and inflation, crime and corruption, and seething
hordes of the unemployed roam the streets. For the West, Russia is
a basket case. But for Igor Komarov, one-time army sergeant who has
risen to leadership of the right-wing UPF party, the chaos is made
to order. As he waits in the wings for the presidential election of
January 2000, his striking voice rings out over the airwaves
offering the roiling masses hope at last--not only for law, order,
and prosperity, but for restoring the lost greatness of their land.
Who is this man with the golden tongue who is so quickly becoming
the promise of a Russia reborn? A document stolen from party
headquarters and smuggled to Washington and London sends nightmare
chills through those who remember the past, for this Black
Manifesto is pure "Mein Kampf" in a country with frightening
parallels to the Germany of the Weimar Republic. Officially the
West can do nothing, but in secret a group of elder statesmen sends
the only person who can expose the truth about Komarov into the
heart of the inferno. Jason Monk, ex-CIA and "the best damn
agent-runner we ever had," had sworn he would never return to
Moscow, but one name changes his mind. Colonel Anatoli Grishin, the
KGB officer who tortured and murdered four of Monk''s agents after
they had been betrayed by Aldrich Ames, is now Komarov''s head of
security. Monk has a dual mission: to stop Komarov, whatever it
takes, and to prepare the way for an icon worthy of the Russian
people. But he has a personal mission as well: to settle the final
score with Grishin. To do this he must stay alive--and the forces
allied against him are ruthless, the time frighteningly
short....
