Will Kate risk everything for love and a good cause? It’s Moscow, 1990. Gorbachev is initiating dramatic change in Russia. On a literary tour, London-based Kate Chisholm meets the young and passionate investigative journalist Valentin Kotov. Over the next thirteen years, her love for him and her belief in his cause will put her own life and that of her surviving son Tom at risk and threaten to derail her ambitions to create a charity in memory of her dead son. Set against the political and cultural turmoil of the break-up of the Soviet Union, this is a story of love and betrayal, of one man’s determination to expose corruption and the impact of his actions on Kate and all those around him.
