About Cold Sunset
Gabriel Dax is en route to Russia, tasked with delivering a mysterious Blanco drawing to celebrated defector Kit Caldwell. But Caldwell is convinced that the KGB suspects him of treachery and wants to get out – now.
When Gabriel is ordered by his enigmatic handler, Faith Green, to help, he is pulled into a web of shifting loyalties and dangerous escape plans. As tensions rise and trust fractures, he is forced to confront the fine line between devotion and deception.
But which will he choose?
