Ace Assassin Donald Moran has been hired by high-level Russian officers to kill Mikhail Gorbachev and destabilize the Soviet Union. But when the job is called off at the eleventh hour, it is already too late to stop Moran—a psychopath, he has spent the last twenty hours refining his perfect plan . . . and it will take much more than canceled orders to prevent him from putting it into deadly motion. Now the only thing standing between Gorbachev and a bullet is Russian Investigator Nikolai Ganin, who must pit his wits against a psychopathic monster if he hopes to stop the attack. "Flannery, whose novels include Moscow Crossing and The Zebra Network, doesn't bother with literary grace notes, but he seems to have some knowledge of the infrastructure of U.S. and Soviet intelligence services, and he certainly knows how to keep a high-speed international suspense caper rattling along." - Publishers Weekly At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The problem is that the Civil War is raging throughout the South and Wheeler's cotton is to be sold for gold--gold used to buy guns and ammunition for the Confederate army.
