The gripping completion of the Alexander Vasin trilogy, a taut thriller about two competing KGB operatives on a race against time to uncover the devastating truth behind the assassination of JFK. 1963. In a desolate Russian penal colony, the radio blares the news of President Kennedy's death. 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 sent to disappear and die quietly. But when tensions in the camp mount and a violent revolt breaks out, Vasin finds himself on the run with a mysterious prisoner holding the most dangerous secret in the world: who ordered the murder of President Kennedy. In a breathless chase that leads them throughout 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 patriotism to the limit, until he faces the ultimate choice: fall in line, or die fighting the system. With masterful storytelling that weaves together a moment of explosive history with the cutthroat machinations of Soviet politics,
