Defectors

Moscow, 1961: With the successful launch of Sputnik, the Soviet Union's international prestige is at an all-time high. Living behind the Iron Curtain, former CIA agent Frank Weeks, the most notorious of the American defectors, is about to publish his memoirs. Frank's defection twelve years earlier shook Washington to its core - and forced his brother, Simon, to resign from a promising career at the State Department.

Now Simon is a respected New York publisher, and Frank wants him to come to Moscow and edit the manuscript. It's a reunion Simon both dreads and longs for, but he can't resist the chance to see his adored older brother. At first, Frank seems much the same - charming, charismatic, the smartest guy in the room. Then Simon begins to glimpse another Frank, still capable of deceit, still in thrall to the KGB, as he's pulled into Frank's twilit world and a scheme that will test the bonds of brotherhood one last time.
