Red lies book cover
Moscow, 1986.
Sophia Litvinova works for the KGB, in the morally-debatable Directorate K. When her superiors send her to Stockholm to investigate a Soviet diplomat’s loyalties, she is ready to deploy her usual tactics to honey-trap the unsuspecting man.
Counsellor Viktor Petrov is a cold, calculating diplomat who has more than one skeleton in his closet. While any other man in his position would have disposed of the young Russian spy without a second thought, he chooses to seize the opportunity and use Sophia’s unique talent to his own advantages.
When the Nuclear Power Plant of Chernobyl explodes, the status quo in which East and West stood for years disappears. Both spies will be forced to up their games if they want to escape the web of red lies in which they’re stuck.
