appreCIAte

East Berlin, November 1989. The Wall is cracking, the regime is crumbling, and into the belly of the dying beast walks an American who should know better.

CIA officer Alex Wells has crossed into the East on a mission the Agency cannot acknowledge and will not rescue him from. He runs his surveillance-detection route like a tourist with a map and a camera-but the man watching from a café across the street has been reading operatives like Wells since before Wells was born.

Viktor Kopytin is the KGB's masterwork: a deep-cover ghost forged in childhood, patient as geology, lethal as a landmine. Shadowing the American should be routine. Instead, as protestors flood the squares and forty years of secrets threaten to spill into every kitchen in Germany, two professionals on opposite sides find their fates braided together in the final days of a world that is ending around them.

The gripping second novel in the Coca-Cola City saga, AppreCIAte is a cat-and-mouse thriller set at the exact moment history turned-where the choices two spies make will echo through the children they leave behind and the country each of them, in his own way, is fighting for.
