The body of a murdered, tortured Russian has been found in Moscow. Sadly, this isn't unusual. But unlike most corpses, this one has been found on the lawn of the British Embassy.

London sends special agent Charlie Muffin to investigate. It's been years since he last came to Russia, but he finds that little has changed in the post-Soviet era. The espionage performed by Russian, British, and American spies continues unabated. While trying to ferret out the identities of the killers, Charlie faces down greater dangers that threaten to throw foreign relations between the world powers into turmoil.

Red Star Rising is an intriguing update on the classic spy thriller, set in a modern-day Russia where the only thing that has changed about the KGB is its name.
