Lured to Moscow for a clandestine interview with a mysterious Russian Minister, Claude Charmont, a seasoned Paris Match correspondent is enticed into the labyrinth of geopolitical conspiracy and murder that swells to entrap his daughter, Arian, a romantically insecure, Canadian fashion journalist and Frank Fig Levine, a pragmatic Vermont chemist with a pension for classic movies. Linked both by necessity and a smoldering passion held tenuously in check only by the magnitude of their quest, they morph amateurish curiosity and enthusiasm into a professional investigative savvy that fires an obsessive crusade across seven countries. Gleaning solicitous and self-serving information and advice from worldly editors, politicians, and police officials, these two unlikely champions battle ex-KGB operatives, private insecurities, and the perils of a savage Baltic sea to expose the Indresku conspiracy, a scheme that eventuates sixteen bodies - a scheme far too mind-boggling to foresee.
