1984. A Yugoslav military attaché defects in Ottawa. Before the Canadians can interrogate him, he is assassinated. In Trieste, NATO agent Michael Higgins is warned by a Canadian spy, Fae Avadek, that he has a traitor in his network. Framed for murder, Higgins runs for his life, falling in love with Fae, whose violent past figures in their search for answers. Vitali Alferyev, KGB station chief in Belgrade, has been recalled to Moscow, where his superior orders him to withdraw all covert operatives from the sector between Rijeka and Ljubljana. Alferyev’s search for the reason leads him into a deadly conflict with a GRU agent operating in the area. In the Yugoslav mountains, where Croatian terrorists, KGB spies, and NATO agents play out the final violent moves in a dangerous game to change the fate of Europe, Michael and Fae must sift through layers of deceit and treachery in their attempt to thwart an enemy whose tentacles stretch from the East to the West, from the past to the present.
