Very good condition – clean cover, minor page edge showing, spine tight

1963. In a desolate Russian penal colony, a radio broadcasts news of the killing of President John F. Kennedy. Alexander Vasin's new posting as director of a brutal gulag camp in the frozen tundra is far from a promotion, it's where disgraced KGB officers are sent to disappear quietly. But when a mysterious prisoner arrives under orders to be protected at all costs, and a violent revolt breaks out soon after, Vasin finds himself fleeing across the Siberian wastes with a man who may hold the answer to who really ordered Kennedy's assassination. Racing from the frozen north to the grey streets of Moscow and Leningrad, Vasin must stay one step ahead of the most ruthless intelligence organisation in the world, his loyalty, morality and patriotism tested to breaking point. Owen Matthews weaves a defining moment of Cold War history into a taut, atmospheric thriller that captures the JFK assassination from a uniquely Soviet point of view.
