Russian Bomb
Dismissed from a top secret Soviet nuclear base in the last days of communism, a KGB Major steals a suitcase bomb and buries it in his backyard. Sixteen years later he's going to sell it - to the highest bidder.
British Agent
The only man standing between the world and Armageddon is an undercover police officer who has infiltrated the criminal gang acting as middlemen, and an MI6 team trailing him across Europe.
Deadly Mix
But can his loyalties be trusted? Whose side is he really on? If he fails, and the bomb gets through, the damage would be incalculable. The back-up team must find their man at all costs and protect him - from himself...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the prologue to this dense spy novel from Seymour (The Collaborator), a disgruntled KGB agent who's recently lost his job, Maj. Oleg Yashkin, secretly buries a suitcase-sized nuclear device in a remote patch of what until recently used to be the Soviet Union. Fifteen years later, in 2008, Yashkin sells the device to a Russian criminal outfit that plans to deliver the weapon to a terrorist network intent on detonating it in the U.K. or the U.S. Meanwhile, a group of Western intelligent officials who get wind of the plot organize Operation Haystack to prevent the bomb's delivery. Major players include Russian nationalist Josef Shlomo Goldmann, a money launderer who leads a double life; Goldmann's ruthless associate, Reuven Weissberg; and former British corporal Johnny Carrick, now working for Goldmann in an undercover capacity. International thriller fans who read chiefly for plot will be more rewarded than those who value engaging characters.
