Inspector Pekkala has been missing for over two years now. He
disappeared while on a mission behind enemy lines. However, his right
hand man, Major Kirov is sure that he is still alive. Stalin orders
Kirov to drop all cases and locate Pekkala; dead or alive.
Kirov finds evidence that Pekkala may be in Ukraine. It is an area
where there are partisans fighting. But on which side is something
unknown. Stalin provides him with the necessary orders to get him
there. Unfortunately Kirov is wounded in an ambush on the partisans.
Pekkala finds him in the hospital, and explains the situation.
Pekkala explains to Kirov that they have a task to prevent the partisans
and the Soviet secret agency, SMERSH, from destroying each other.
Could there be a traitor in their midst?
Author Sam Eastland’s latest thriller in the Pekkala series is full of
intrigue and suspense. A thoroughly rollicking read. I’m looking
forward to the next book in the series.
