Matryoshka: Love is a weapon

The deadly arts of Soviet special forces have not been lost, they have adapted to the new world order. Eva was once a soldier of the Cold War, trained in seduction and espionage - a Matryoshka (Russian Doll). By the new millennium, she is living in London and working as an art dealer but beneath the outer shell the Matryoshka is still at large. When an operation goes wrong, Eva is traced by a ghost from her past, Colonel Vasili Dimitriev, her combat instructor from Spetznaz. Dimitriev believes Eva can help him uncover a traitor in Moscow. But the traitor strikes first with an Alpha team - six of the most lethal soldiers in the world - sent to silence them both. British police and the CIA join the hunt and Eva and Vasili must work together to stay alive and discover the truth. But can the seductress and the spy trust one another in this deadliest of games - where trust is a weakness and love is a weapon?
