The last of the trilogy, finished as Matthews was dying. Russian intelligence has a mole of its own, in place for decades and about to be appointed to run the CIA, and Dominika is the only person who can identify her — which means she has to expose her without exposing herself. It runs through Washington, Hong Kong, Istanbul, and Moscow, and Matthews spends it closing out everybody’s account. He was a case officer for thirty-three years and it shows in the small things: What it costs to run an agent, how people actually get caught, and how rarely it ends well.
