Why read it?

This is a true story of a Russian spy that I found poetically sad yet uplifting.
This is a tale with no happy ending. And yet, ex-KGB naval intelligence officer Sergei leaves behind a compelling legacy of strength and bravery. His fight to ‘do the right thing’ and leave behind a regime that would eventually kill him is very real.

From Kathleen's list on suspense with twisted and unpredictable plots.
