Negotiation with America might bring relief, but rival forces within the Soviet leadership have their own plans, and British intelligence agent Adam Munro learns that the stakes extend far beyond a food deal. As political manoeuvring, espionage and terrorism draw the major powers together, leaders must make decisions in which every available course threatens innocent lives.
