Synopsis: From the New York Times bestselling author of Vodka comes a riveting post World War II Thriller.
London, 1952. The fog rolls in. It seems the Great Fog has claimed another victim—someone who most likely stumbled into the icy shallows of Long Water. In fact, the floater is a prominent biochemist who, only hours before his death, claimed to know something that could change the world.
The chase begins. Ex-spy-turned-Scotland Yard detective Herbert Smith thinks he left the shadows of espionage behind until he traces the victim’s final footsteps. It leads straight into the heart of a secret that is coveted by both the CIA and the KGB—and threatened by the last dangerous vestige of the Third Reich.
“This is how thrillers should be done.”—The Baltimore Sun
