The Cardinal of the Kremlin

Mikhail Filitov is a war hero and Red Army Colonel, but his CIA code name is “Cardinal.” A chance encounter in a Moscow subway leads the KGB to begin a hunt–for the spy in top echelons of power. From the author of Clear and Present Danger , The Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising , enter a world of high-wire, high-tech international intrigue that reaches from the bloody dust of Afghanistan to the use of lasers in space. The US and the USSR are negotiating a treaty that could lead to war–or peace–while their secret espionage armies are locked in the ultimate struggle. What the Cardinal knows could change the course of history. What a maverick CIA man named Ryan must do is outduel the KGB–and bring the Cardinal out alive!
