In Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery two men are entombed side by side. Two men who hold the key to an international mystery that has lain buried with them for over forty years.
When American journalist Bill Massey arrives in present-day Moscow to investigate his father's mysterious death in 1953, he has two leads. The name of a woman, Anna Khorev, and the codename of a clandestine CIA operation, Snow Wolf. He knows his father was in some way connected with both.
What he cannot know is that Snow Wolf was the CIA's most impossible, most audacious Cold War assassination mission, sanctioned by President Dwight D Eisenhower himself, within hours of his inauguration.
The target? The world's most powerful man. Joseph Stalin.
