"Moscow Nights Return," book one of the Moscow Nights Series, brings alive flawed characters, interweaving their lives in a high-speed chase through Moscow, St. Petersburg, Hamburg, Amsterdam, the UK and the USA. The book opens in Moscow in 1990, bringing that conflict into the current time, through the eyes of master spies.
The protagonist, Elda Ainsworth, is activated by the American government to extract her friend, Korinna Federov, a Russian translator for the Kremlin, and is pitted against her old nemesis, Toshchiy Chelovek. Elda’s background as a military analyst, personal trainer and psychologist makes her a formidable opponent.
Toshchiy Chelovek, the Kremlin’s spy handler, was an active agent in the Cold War and is the brains behind the assassin, Anatoly Petrov. Tosh has never been defeated. His photographic memory contains a vast store of information across many years and missions.
The reader travels on a suspenseful trip while Elda works to outwit Tosh and Anatoly.

REVIEWS:
"Pulse-pounding espionage with a strong heroine and emotional resonance." — BookLife Review
"Full of twists and turns with characters I could relate to as the action moved across Russia, Europe and the U.S. Stayed up late a couple of nights when I just couldn’t put it down, and even then woke up in the middle of the night wondering what would happen next." — Amazon Review
"A fast-paced plunge into contemporary spycraft with some classic Cold War twists, 'Moscow Nights Return' is a gripping international thriller. The plot is keenly crafted and original, and the intensity and minutiae of espionage on both small and large scales is a highlight, painting a shadowy portrait of double lives engaging in surprising layers of deception, which results in an engrossing work of spy fiction." — Self-Publishing Review
