A born and bred New Yorker, Katharina is the daughter of
immigrants, Ivy-League-educated, and speaks four languages. As a
single girl in 1940's Manhattan, she is a translator at the newly
formed United Nations, devoting her days to her work and the
promise of world peace - and her nights to cocktails and the
promise of a good time. Now the wife of a beloved pediatric surgeon
and heir to a shipping fortune, Katharina is trapped in a gilded
cage, desperate to escape the constraints of domesticity. So when
she is approached by the FBI and asked to join their ranks as an
informant, Katharina seizes the opportunity. A man from her past
has become a high-level Soviet spy, but no one has been able to
infiltrate his circle. Enter Katharina, the perfect woman for the
job. Navigating the demands of the FBI and the secrets of the KGB,
she becomes a courier, carrying stolen government documents from
D.C. to Manhattan. But as those closest to her lose their covers,
and their lives, Katharina's secret soon threatens to ruin her.
