Two decades later, in 1963, Hale's quest to resolve the nightmare of Declare takes him across the globe, from Whitehall to Moscow. His desperate journey through the world of Cold War espionage ultimately leads him, the Communist agent Elena Teresa Ceniza-Bendiga, and the infamous traitor Kim Philby to a final, deadly confrontation on Mount Ararat. |
