THE INTERNATIONAL THRILLER OF THE NEW COLD WAR

Welcome to the sudden, brutal new world order, when our democratic values are pitted directly against Russian aggression. In order to stop conflict, America and Russia draw up a treaty called Project Peace that accommodates Russia's expanding new dictatorship in exchange for guaranteed energy supplies and the creation of a world of near-total surveillance.

That is until Kat Polinski, a stubborn, single-minded federal agent, is assigned to carry out an undercover break-in. Her target is the embassy of the energy-rich government of Kazakhstan. What she finds is a massacre. But the worst is yet to come: the murder of her sister - and the discovery of a plot that comes straight out of today's new Cold War headlines.

When you move, they watch
When you speak they listen.
They track you by what you touch and how you walk.
