China Card

With the Russian economy in shambles, and hard-line leaders in power, renegade KGB operatives steal the classified dossier on the Kremlin's most carefully guarded operation, known as the Red Locust file. This ultra-secret document details the exact locations of over one hundred tactical nuclear weapons, or suitcase bombs, secretly placed in the U.S. during the height of the cold war. Thousands of miles away, in Washington D.C., in the final weeks of the presidential election, a young prostitute is found brutally murdered in a luxury hotel. The only clue-a single cufflink bearing the seal of the President of the United States. These seemingly unrelated events will soon reveal not only a sinister connection but a twisting trail of conspiracy and espionage, power brokers and assassins. It's a trail that leads from mainland China to the seamy underbelly of the Washington power-structure...to the Oval Office itself.
