The Russian President

At the height of the Cold War, an American spy parachutes into the USSR on a desperate mission to penetrate the Soviet government. Decades later, on a lonely Baltic beach, an American yachtsman interrupts an attempt to murder a young Russian woman, and her rescue triggers a cascade of assassinations and narrow escapes across Europe as CIA operatives team up with their Russian colleagues to unseat a madman in the Kremlin.

Praise for Bob Killebrew's Dark Rendezvous

Bob Killebrew writes thrillers with an insiders's knowledge that will entertain those who know and educate those who don't. I look forward to many more tales from this guy's laptop.

Finally, a thriller that truly thrills! All action, this sleek novel doesn't waste a moment of the reader's time -- it grips the attention from beginning to end. Clearly, the author understands the dark threats of our time with an inside-the-situation-room sophistication. Strongly recommended!
