In the thick of the Cold War, a betrayal at the highest level risks
the lives of two courageous female spies: MI6’s best Soviet agent
and the CIA’s newest Moscow recruit. Vienna, 1954 After losing
everyone she loves in the final days of World War II, Ingrid Bauer
agrees to a hasty marriage with a gentle Soviet embassy worker and
follows him home to Moscow. But nothing within the Soviet Union’s
totalitarian regime is what it seems, including her new husband,
whom Ingrid suspects works for the KGB. Inspired by her
daughter’s birth, Ingrid risks everything and reaches out in hope
to the one country she understands and trusts—Britain, the
country of her mother’s birth. She begins passing intelligence to
MI6, navigating a world of secrets and lies, light and shadow.
Moscow, 1980 A student in the Foreign Studies Initiative, Anya
Kadinova finishes her degree at Georgetown University and boards a
flight home to Moscow, leaving behind the man she loves and a
country she’s grown to respect. Though raised by dedicated and
loyal Soviet parents, Anya soon questions an increasingly
oppressive and paranoid regime at the height of the Cold War. Then
the KGB murders her best friend and Anya chooses her side. Working
in a military research lab, she relays Soviet plans and schematics
to the CIA in an effort to end the 1980s arms race. The past
catches up to the present when an unprecedented act of treachery
threatens all agents operating within Eastern Europe, and both
Ingrid and Anya find themselves in a race for their lives against
time and the KGB. “Eloquently portrays the incredible
contributions of women in history, the extraordinary depths of
love, and, perhaps most important, the true cost of freedom.”
—Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of The
Wedding Veil An exciting story of two brave female spies in Cold
War Moscow Includes discussion questions for book clubs
