After being attacked in Georgetown, his mother, Lauren, lies in a coma, and his step dad, Roger, Nick’s brother, has Vanished without a trace. Nick and Roger have been on the outs since the arrest, trial, and conviction of their father, the notorious ‘fugitive financier,’ Victor Heller.

Now, as Nick searches for his brother, he’s on a collision course with one of the most powerful corporations in the world and they will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.

Nick has returned to his old home town of Boston to set up his own shop. There he s urgently summoned by an old family friend. Hedge fund titan Marshall Marcus desperately needs Nick s help. His teenaged daughter, Alexa, has just been kidnapped. Her abduction was clearly a sophisticated professional job, done with extraordinary precision. Alexa, whom Nick has known since she was young, is now buried alive, held prisoner in an underground crypt, a camera trained on her, her suffering streaming live over the internet. She s been left with a limited supply of food and water and, if her father doesn t meet the demands of her shadowy kidnappers, she ll die. And as Nick begins to probe, he discovers that all is not quite right with Marshall Marcus s business. He s being investigated by the FBI, he has a lot of shady investors, his fund is in danger and now he has a lot of powerful enemies who may have the motivation to go after Marcus s daughter. But to find out who s holding Alexa Marcus hostage, Nick has to find out why. Once he does, he uncovers an astonishing conspiracy that reaches far beyond anything he could have imagined. And if he s going to find Alexa in time, he will have to flush out and confront some of his deadliest opponents ever.

His expert as*sessment not only is there an ominous coup in the making, a power struggle that will make glasnost a thing of the past but he senses that the conspiracy may well be linked to an old family mystery: why his father, a prominent Harvard historian, was imprisoned during the McCarthy era. Suddenly, Stone’s investigation becomes deeply personal. He finds himself delving into a conspiracy whose roots lie in the first days of the Cold War. Stone’s search leads him to the private archives of his own godfather, the legendary Winthrop Lehman, a man who was the confidant of FDR and Truman, and once, secretly, the confidant to Lenin himself. At once, Stone is plunged into a nightmare of violence and paranoia. Framed for brutal murder, Stone finds himself in a cat and mouse pursuit across the United States, Europe, and finally, the Soviet Union, which, for the first time in history, has been seized by an unnerving wave of terrorism. Within the Kremlin, a secret group that calls itself The Moscow Club outraged by Moscow’s loosening grip on world power is laying groundwork for an ingenious, violent coup d’ tat, led by one rogue member of Gorbachev’s Politburo, which will topple the Kremlin leadership from within and change the world order forever. As the days, and finally hours, tick by, Stone must elude his pursuers long enough to find an elusive woman who holds a power she does not know she has if she is indeed alive. She alone may be the key not only to the identity of the one man who seeks the reins of power but to a final, amazing mystery almost as old as the Soviet Union itself.
