Christian is in Russia for two reasons. One is secret…
Michael Christian, security executive, goes head to head with the Russian Mafia in Moscow, as he attempts to free his company’s operations from their extortion. Realizing he is there to disrupt their business, they devise a plot to kill him.
Out of his league and in a country with no rules, he forms an unlikely alliance with the FBI legal attaché in Moscow, and with Vladimir Takhoyev, a wealthy former KGB officer, who proves every bit as ruthless and competent as the mob. 
But Christian is also there, in a borderline espionage capacity, to gather intelligence for the U.S. government. Takhoyev seems completely aware of both of Christian’s missions and is a step ahead of him all the way, forcing Christian to decipher if he is a friend or a foe.
Christian runs full speed through a minefield of espionage, murder, mayhem and mystery as bodies pile up and time runs out.
