1963. In a desolate Russian penal colony, the radio blares the news
of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy... Lieutenant
Colonel Alexander Vasin's new post as director of a gulag camp in
the middle of a frozen tundra is far from a promotion. This is
where disgraced agents, like Vasin, are disappeared - sent to die
forgotten. And quietly. But tensions in the camp are running high
and when a violent revolt breaks out, Vasin finds himself on the
run. With him is a mysterious prisoner - who holds the key to the
most dangerous secret in the world: who ordered Kennedy's murder.
In a breathless race that takes them through the Soviet Union -
from the barren Siberian wastelands to the stunning halls of the
Catherine Palace, and into the gritty streets of Leningrad and
Moscow - Vasin must stay one step ahead of the deadliest spy and
police organizations in the world . . . and keep the most wanted
man in Russia alive. The journey will push Vasin's loyalty,
morality and his patriotism to the limit. And he must confront the
ultimate choice: fall in line, or die fighting the system. With
masterful storytelling that weaves together a explosive moment in
history with the cutthroat machinations of Soviet politics, Owen
Matthews' White Fox captures the paradigm-shifting assassination
from a unique Soviet point of view. This is a page-turning thriller
across Russia, where characters facing impossible odds are forced
to decide between truth, justice and all-out war.
