For forty years Western intelligence agents have known a terrible secret: the Russians have a mole -- code name Talbot -- inside the CIA. At first, Talbot is suspected of killing European agents.
Then a street-smart ex-cop uncovers a storm of espionage and murder on the streets of New York, while in a Long Island suburb a civic demonstration against the Russian mission masks a desperate duel of nerves and wits. Engineered by Talbot, a shadow world of deception and deceit is spilling onto the streets . . .

More a 2.8. Well written of course but all characters were hard to sympathise with, and DeMille tends to make all his women folk beautiful and sexy (a trend across all the books of his I've read), and - in this tale - still dependent on the men folk. I didn't like a single character in this story, and couldn't care less if all of them got blown to bits by the Russians.
