Moscow Rules (Gabriel Allon)

The death of a journalist leads Allon to Russia, where he finds that, in terms of spycradt, even he has something to learn. He's playing by Moscow rules now. One such man is Ivan Kharkov, a former KGB colonel who built a global inventment empire on the rubble of the Soviet Union. Hidden within that empire, however, is a more lucrative and deadly business - Kharkov is an arms dealer - and he is about to deliver Russia's most sophisticated weapons to al-Qaeda. Unless Allon can learn the time and place of the delivery, the world will see the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11 - and the clock is ticking fast.
