A reluctant double agent is tasked with an unthinkable triple assassination in this โpanoramic, smart, hugely enjoyable thrillerโ (The New York Times Book Review).
A single spyโin the right place and at the right momentโmay change the course of history . . .
Alexsi Ivanovich Smirnov, an orphan and a thief, is living by his wits and eluding the ever-watchful eye of the Soviet systemโuntil his luck finally runs out. In 1936, sixteen-year-old Alexsi is caught by the NKVD and transported to Moscow. There, in the notorious headquarters of the secret police, he is given a choice: be trained and inserted as a spy into Nazi Germany under the identity of his best friend, the long-lost nephew of a high-ranking Nazi official, or disappear forever in the basement of the Lubyanka. For Alexsi, itโs no choice at all.
Over the next seven years, Alexsi has to play the role, and ultimately works for the legendary German spymaster Wilhelm Canaris as an intelligence agent in the Abwehr. All while acting as a double agentโreporting back to the NKVD and avoiding detection by the Gestapo. Trapped between the implacable forces of two of the most notorious dictatorships in history, and truly loyal to no one but himself, Alexsi focuses on his goal: survival.
Then, in 1943, Alexsi is chosen by the Gestapo to spearhead one of the most desperate operations of the warโto infiltrate the site of the upcoming Tehran conference between Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin, and set them up to be assassinated. For Alexsi, itโs the moment of truth. For the rest of the world, the future is at stake . . .
โChristieโs enthralling novel defies expectations while striking all the chords that make spy fiction so enjoyable.โ โKirkus Reviews (starred review)
โA superb spy novel, with a vast sweep across the Eastern Front of World War II.โ โChris Pavone, New York Timesโbestselling author of The Expats
