Description
The Contract by Gerald Seymour A gripping tale of loyalty and betrayal, set against the complex backdrop of Cold War politics. When a young Russian defector's father is coerced into working on Soviet missile systems, the British authorities turn to an unlikely candidate to persuade him to defect in exchange for valuable intelligence. Johnny Donoghue, a former soldier with a troubled past, is recruited for the mission despite his own reservations about taking on such a high-risk task. As he navigates the treacherous world of realpolitik, Donoghue must confront the consequences of his own actions and decide whether to follow his conscience or fulfill his obligations. As Otto Guttman grapples with the impossible decision that will determine his future, the stakes are raised in a heart-pounding climax that will leave readers on the edge of their seats.
