Rebecca Hoffman, an East German teacher, has discovered that she is being spied on by the Stasi. On realizing that this has been happening for years, she does something that will affect her family for life. The offspring of a mixed race couple, George Jakes, has joined Robert F. Kennedy’s justice department. Here, he finds that he is not only in the midst of a civil rights battle, but also one that is personal. Cameron Dewar , grandson to a senator, takes his chance at doing some official and unofficial work for a cause that he believes in. However, he only ends up discovering what a dangerous world he really lives in. Dimka Dvorkin has become an agent for both good and ill causes while the United States and the Soviet Union are close to a nuclear war. On the other hand, his twin sister, Tania, plays a role that takes her to Moscow, Cuba, Prague, Warsow, and eventually into history. Follett has done a great job with the research of the historical background to give us a story that contains characters of rich emotions and fast-paced action.
