  • "First published in 1997, Glenn Meade's first internationally bestselling thriller is back and better than ever, as it takes you on a riveting ride into the heart of a Cold War plot to assassinate Joseph Stalin. It's 1953'the middle of the Cold War. Joseph Stalin is a major threat'with his deteriorating mental stability, reports that he's about to resume his horrifying purges, and the Soviet Union on the cusp of developing nuclear weapons, it's a risk the US government is unwilling to take. Operation Snow Wolf is created to eliminate Stalin before it's too late. CIA agent Jake Massey is chosen to run the operation and he recruits Alex Slanski'AKA Wolf'to do the deed, along with Anna, who recently escaped from a Soviet gulag, to be his guide. But someone knows their plan, and the KGB have dispatched their own deadly Major Yuri Lukin to hunt down the hunters. As circumstances quickly unravel, Jake must somehow put an end to the mission he had set into motion'before the entire situation explodes into World War III. Filled with breathtaking action and nail-biting thrills, this classic bestseller proves that despite being over, the Cold War can "still freeze readers' attention and chill their blood" (Publishers Weekly)."

Aber der amerikanische Geheimdienst hat andere Pläne mit Anna: Sie soll helfen den Topagenten Alex Slanski in Moskau einzuschleusen. Die Belohnung, die ihr winkt, wäre mit allem Gold dieser Welt nicht aufzuwiegen."

  • "On hearing the Soviet Union's dictator, Joseph Stalin, is preparing a nuclear strike against America, the U.S. parachutes two agents--Alex and Anna--to assassinate him. When the U.S. learns the Russians have discovered the plot, a man is sent to kill the agents, but with the help of a renegade Soviet general, Alex and Anna outwit everyone and penetrate the Kremlin."
  • "Begin jaren vijftig wordt het plan opgevat om Stalin te vermoorden voordat hij een oorlog met Amerika begint."
  • "January 1953. The Cold War is at its coldest. President Dwight D. Eisenhower is receiving increasingly alarming reports that Joseph Stalin's mental health is rapidly deteriorating. That he's about to recommence his horrifying purges. That his thermonuclear bomb program is almost complete and likely to precipitate another world war. Within hours of his inauguration, Eisenhower makes the most audacious decision ever taken by an American President: the sanctioning of Operation Snow Wolf. Two CIA agents, posing as man and wife, will travel across the icy wastes of Russia to Moscow to assassinate the world's most powerful despot. Quite by chance, however, from the moment they land on Soviet soil, the KGB gets wind of the plan. An expert manhunter is put in charge of finding the CIA agents and eliminating them. The two agents find themselves under fatal threat from two fronts. One they expected. And one they most certainly did not."@en
