Gabriel Dax is on his way to Russia with a new assignment. Though delivering a mysterious Blanco drawing to the defector, Kit Caldwell, he is actually tasked with getting Caldwell out of the country because he thinks his cover has been blown and the KGB suspect him of treachery.  

Dax becomes immersed in intrigue and danger. Who can he trust, and how can he choose loyalty or deception?

This is a wonderfully atmospheric trilogy. The writing is incredible and the characters bewitching. Perfect escapist read.
