Black Ghosts

They called themselves the Black Ghosts, elite KGB operatives who, at the height of the Cold War, were embedded in positions of strategic influence throughout the Russian government, placed there as a hidden safeguard against political upheaval. When their commander, the cunning General Peter Rogov, was arrested and imprisoned, the network went dark and the threat seemed to have passed. It has not passed. With Rogov's return from prison comes the reactivation of a network that the West had forgotten, sleeper agents, shadowy assassins, and intelligence operatives embedded in positions of influence spanning from Moscow to the capitals of the Western world. Rogov's ambition is nothing less than the overthrow of the existing power structure and the restoration of Russian dominance on the world stage, and he has chosen an act of breathtaking audacity to announce his return. Victor Ostrovsky, the #1 New York Times bestselling former Mossad agent whose previous works gave readers unprecedented access to the world of covert operations, brings the same insider authority and narrative intensity to this gripping Cold War thriller. Part espionage procedural, part geopolitical warning, Black Ghosts is a propulsive read from a writer who knows from experience how these shadow networks actually work.
