Book Description
“Neat and nasty plot... all too plausible.”—Financial Times
A royally connected candidate is going for gold at the Moscow Olympic Games. But a mysterious ‘Aloysha’ has threatened to turn it into an international incident.
Ex-steeplechaser Randall Drew knows more about horses than Russians—and more about farming than spying. Yet he still finds himself Moscow-bound, armed only with a vague brief and an invisible opposition.
It’s time for a winter crash course in Soviet diplomacy...
“Trial Run is entirely enjoyable.”—New York Times
