But when a bizarre death starts to unravel some of the most sensitive secrets of his government, Flemyng is drawn back into the shadows of the Cold War and begins to dance with danger once more. Buffeted by political forces and the powerful women around him, and caught in interlocking mysteries he must disentangle, including a potentially lethal family secret, Flemyng faces his vulnerability and learns, through betrayal and tragedy, more truth about his world than he has ever known.
