About Lena’s Secret War: A Spy Thriller
It is 1971 and espionage is in the air in Soviet Russia.
Lena Kristoff is a researcher working on the highest priority project of the time, a secret computer model of the entire Soviet economic system. She is recruited by the CIA and falls in love with an American agency courier named Eric Larson.
Seizing an opportunity to copy the model files, she gives them to Larson to transport out of the country. Larson’s cover is suddenly blown and he must flee Russia. Confronted by border guards, both he and Lena are shot and presumed dead.
Or so it seems.
Lena escapes. But can she elude the powerful GRU and the dreaded KGB? She must risk everything to save her family. Her secret war against her government seems doomed to failure.
A magnificent story of love, loss, and courage, Lena’s Secret War illustrates how one brave individual can profoundly alter the trajectory of her gray, spirit-crushing world. It is a work of suspense and compassion reminiscent of Red Sparrow and The Russia House.
