Joseph Finder: The Moscow Club (USA 2013)

From the Publisher:
It's 1991. The Cold War is over. Charlie Stone is a brilliant analyst for the CIA who made a name for himself during the height of the Cold War. But today his expertise is needed yet again: A top-secret tape -- one that foretells a coup d'état in the Kremlin -- has been smuggled out of the the Soviet Union by one of a few remaining moles. Stone's assessment of the transcript is two-fold: Not only is a very real, very violent power struggle underway but the plot may be linked to an old mystery involving the imprisonment of Stone's own father. Could a McCarthy-era enemy be trying to send Stone a deadly modern message?

Soon Stone finds himself at the center of another conspiracy -- framed for a grisly murder. Without proof of his innocence, Stone enters into a terrifying game of cat-and-mouse that leads him across the country, throughought Europe, and finally, to the Soviet Union. There, he will come face to face with a group of Kremlin insiders whose ruthless agenda threatens to disrupt the fragile balance of world power -- and leave Stone with nowhere left to run. But before he can thwart a tragedy of epic proportions, he must put a stop to the elusive ways and means of THE MOSCOW CLUB.

Joseph Finder: The Moscow Club (USA 1991)

From the Publisher:
In a remote country house outside of Moscow and in an underground sanctum near Washington, D.C., an ominous conspiracy is brewing. And Charlie Stone, a brilliant young analyst for the CIA, may be the only one who can stop it. Asked to investigate because of his uncanny talent for predicting the ways of the Kremlin, Stone must unravel an ingenious plan destined to destroy the hopes of a world almost - finally - free of the Cold War.

As he begins to lay bare the roots of the plot, Stone discovers evidence that leads him to the private archives of his own godfather, the legendary Winthrop Lehman, the confidant of FDR and Truman - and secretly, of Lenin as well. Suddenly Stone is caught up in a pulse-pounding chase across America and Europe and into the heart of Moscow, a race against time, to an unforgettable climax.
