And the most notorious of the defectors to the Soviet Union, former CIA agent Frank Weeks, is about to publish his memoirs.

Simon, now a publisher in New York, is given the opportunity to read and publish his brother's memoir.

Yet the offer is irresistible: it will finally give him the chance to learn why his brother chose to betray his country.But what he discovers in Moscow is far more shocking than he ever imagined ...
