Like all of the Justin Hall series this one opens with a bang as the Russian Minister of Defense is assassinated by one of his security detail who turns out to be a Chechen terrorist.  At the same time Justin, Carrie and team are on another mission in Bosnia and this mission will leave Justin with concerns over the actions that he was forced to take that will haunt him throughout the current story.After they return the CIA asks for assistance from the CIS and in particular Justin in helping them to convince the Russians to work with them to stop a terrorist plot that they know is underway by Chechen terrorists, but they do not know any other information.  It is hoped that with the recent assassination of a Russian minister that they will assist us with stopping us them.  If not, then Justin is to steal the information needed.The Russians do not intend to help either the CIA or the Canadians and just like the CIA and other US agencies there is an internal struggle within the Russian government and its agencies.  Nothing is as it seems and Justin learns once again that if “he doesn’t listen to his gut” big trouble follows.There is lots of action in this latest novel and we are left with a satisfying end to this story and perhaps the beginning of the next Justin Hall Novel.I have read each of these novels and the short stories and while you can follow the novel without it I think the reader will enjoy it more if he reads the previous novels.
