Book description
October, 1969. Moscow. Paul Dark is a broken man. A terrible mistake
twenty-four years ago led to him being recruited into Soviet
intelligence, but he has paid a heavy price for it. Now locked up in a
cell, distrusted even by those he once served, Dark has nothing for
company but the ghosts of his past when he is woken in the early hours
and taken to a secret location. There, he discovers that the Soviets
believe they are about to face a nuclear attack by the West -- and are
planning to strike first as a result. Dark realizes at once that the
truth of the matter involves the final days of the Second World War, and
the final mission he undertook as a loyal British agent.
Now the fate of the entire world rests on the shoulders of one man: a
traitor long past his best, who is soon the subject of a massive
man-hunt in one of the most repressive regimes in history. Dark needs
to make it to a small island in the Baltic before it's too late -- and
the clock is ticking.

Jeremy Duns is British, but currently lives and works in Stockholm.
