Utterly gripping spy thriller set in the glittering world of
European high society, just before the Second World War. November,
1940. I.A. Serebin, a writer from Odessa and former decorated Hero
of the Soviet Union, is on his way to Istanbul following a cryptic
letter from a former lover. Ostensibly there on official business
for the International Russian Union, an emigre organisation based
in Paris, he is drawn into a clandestine world of international
spies and political players. With war in Europe drawing nearer,
Serebin is recruited by the British secret services - his mission
to stop the export of Romanian oil to Germany. In a race against
time, Serebin's journey will take him from the glittering salons of
Paris to the back alleys of Bucharest and the Black Sea ports, in a
covert operation to staunch the flow of oil, the precious 'blood of
victory'.
