?It was going to be a busy day. The Russians were committing news.? American journalist Colin Burke may have been in Moscow long enough to lose his naivet?, but he hasn't lost his reporter's ambition for that One Big Story. Something's got to justify the years he's spent living in a grim Soviet flat and working with a rotating roster of ?assistants? who report his every move to the KGB. That ambition could prove fatal when a source presents Burke with the story of a lifetime. It blinds him to the fact that he's got only part of the story ? a story that stretches to the Kremlin?and the White House. He knows just enough to make some dangerous people very uncomfortable. Can he learn the rest of the story in time to save his own skin?
