Murder, espionage, treason, and betrayal.....
In late summer 1945, as a brutal war rages across the world, young cipher analyst Viktor Zakharov discovers that high-ranking Canadians are passing top-secret military information to Russian agents.
Stunned and shaken, Viktor learns the people involved support the Communist’s goal of world-wide revolution. But why? The Canadian people enjoy true freedom. Even during the brutal war, they have plenty to eat and they are happy.
How could these people betray their own country?
Haunted by the sadistic horrors of war he witnessed and fearing for his life, Viktor battles with the shreds of his moral conscience. Could he turn his back on the country he loves? Could he keep silent about what he has discovered? Would anyone believe such a shocking truth about their own government? As a last, desperate hope, he considers defecting, even though it could mean a death sentence. Will his wife and child survive his fall from grace, or would his damaged reputation and shadowy enemies come after them as well? Somehow, he must keep his family safe, while exposing the truth. Otherwise, Canada could become the very hellscape he'd spent years fighting.
LEAGUE OF TRAITORS is a powerful and captivating story of one ordinary man. Viktor Sergeyevich Zakharov grapples between the honor and integrity his father taught him and the safety of himself and his family.
