In the Shadow of Mordor

For the first time, a former CIA officer and a Russian dissident collaborate in an explosive tale of murder and intrigue that rips the mask off the true face of the Kremlin's ruling class. A Russian journalist is brutally murdered to protect a dark Kremlin secret. His son pursues the investigation only to find himself a target for assassination. A Ukrainian intelligence operative struggles to prevent a massacre. A young woman dedicated to the Kremlin must confront her own demons. All of these threads are woven together in a compelling tale based largely on fact that takes the reader on a roller coaster ride from Moscow to Kiev and ultimately to Washington where Russian intelligence plans a monstrous crime.
