Synopsis

Cal Brinkley is a counterintelligence officer for the CIA, his problem is he is doing too well. He has recently had an inordinate success discovering penetrations in the CIA, and has found out too much about the Russian Mafia for his own good. Further he is considered a prime suspect himself for being a mole, by some at the CIA. An attempt is made on his life, and a beautiful Russian gypsy is recruited by the KGB to work her way into his heart and the CIAs mind. It is unclear whether or not she is a real psychic, as many believe, or a fraud who is just duping the CIA. The Chairman of the KGB becomes personally involved as he directs Operation Dante and Operation Red Flag. All the stops are cold as modern espionage technology is merged with old-fashioned trade craft. Test your wits trying to predict the next twist or turn, as the mystery takes you into the backstage lairs of Washingtons world of secrets, and compartmented clearances.
