They are masters in the covert world of spies and assassins.

Elda Ainsworth cut her teeth as a spy in the Cold War. Currently semiretired, she has been activated by the American government to extract her friend Korinna Federov, a Russian translator for the Kremlin. Elda's background as a military analyst, personal trainer, and psychologist makes her a formidable opponent.

Trained by the KGB, Anatoly Petrov was born to be a killing machine. Anatoly's mission is to eliminate Korinna, thus ensuring the American and Russian presidents' secrets she holds are kept safe. The careers of both world leaders are on the line, as well as the delicate balance of peace, should Korinna leak her knowledge of their covert activities.

Elda squares off against Anatoly in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase across Russia and Europe to see which side will prevail. Alone against the power and resources of the Kremlin, are Elda's wits and skills enough to save Korinna and win one for America in the new Cold War?
