IMPERFECT BURIALS - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Ripped from today’s headlines . . .

Warsaw, 1989. With Soviet forces poised to crush Poland’s push for democracy, US journalist Finn Waters slips deep into Russia pursuing a story that will trigger chaos inside the Kremlin. Running the risk of winding up in unmarked graves, Finn and Belarusian double agent, Mikolai Begitch, shake down an octogenarian Secret Police commandant who holds a great WWII secret: the truth about the massacre of 22,000 Polish army officers.

The timing and horror of Finn's story have the power to awaken western nations to the necessity of gutting the Soviet Union. But his paper, the New York Times, the grande dame of journalism, refuses to print it. Suddenly, every news outlet is blocking him. When he survives assassination in Vienna, even the US state department leaves him dangling. Exposing a 50-year-old war crime has turned Finn into a spy without a country. To survive, he must unearth the greater secret that Cold War enemies have colluded to keep buried.
