Description

Defectors by Joseph Kanon is an explosive thriller set in the early days of the Cold War. In 1961, the Soviet Union's international prestige reaches new heights with the launch of Sputnik, and former CIA agent Frank Weeks' defection to the Soviet Union has sent shockwaves through Washington. Weeks' memoir, about to be published by Simon Weeks, a publisher in New York, reveals secrets that will have far-reaching consequences. The book is intended as KGB propaganda, but its contents are too sensitive for the US government to approve. Simon is given the opportunity to read and publish the memoir, hoping to understand why his brother chose to betray his country. What he discovers in Moscow is more shocking than he ever imagined, leading to a gripping exploration of loyalty, control, and the human cost of espionage.
