New York Times–Bestselling Author of Firefox: As Olympic runners prepare to compete in Moscow, a more dangerous race is happening behind the scenes . . .
Amid the 1980 Moscow Olympics, a double agent is seeking to defect to the USA—and the CIA needs to take action before the KGB does. Meanwhile, Ukrainian nationalists hope to disrupt the internationally televised events with a spectacular bomb plot. Athletes from around the globe, each facing their own personal challenges, prepare for the men’s 5000-meter race while agents in the shadows engage in a competition with far more at stake than a gold medal . . .
“A leading exponent of the genre, on a par with, though perhaps not quite as famous as, his fellow countryman Ken Follett . . . A master storyteller.” —The Independent
“The big race itself is a knockout, wonderfully authentic.” —Kirkus Reviews
