She is in hiding from an enemy she didn't expect. A pandemic rages around the world. What is the point in living The waters of Lake Geneva in Switzerland beckon her to a relatively quick death. All she has to do is take a step, and her life would be behind her.Before she can take that step, someone intervenes with a plan of her own. Natalia Bukharin, now an adult, was Lubova's charge as a child, when Lubova was her au pair/bodyguard. Natalia convinces Lubova to write a memoir of her ground-breaking life as a high-level KGB officer. With reluctance, Lubova takes the project on, knowing the lake will still be there when she completes it.In her travels through her past, she discovers a terrible secret. Not one that might shatter the security of a country but one that would shatter someone who is more important to her than her own family was.One thing the KGB taught her well: Some secrets are meant to be kept.
