Last Train to Vladivostok

About the Book

“Pierre Duval is missing.” That terse communication received by the Director of the CIA in January 1959, sets into motion a series of events which uncover an international plot to assassinate Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Murder, betrayal, intrigue and Cold War politics combine to threaten nuclear war. Meanwhile a Scotland Yard detective, Russian mobsters, rogue KGB agents, and the CIA’s only female field agent, compete in a mad dash to catch the Last Train to Vladivostok in a desperate attempt to find Pierre Duval and stop the assassination.
