Where Sunflowers Stand
Alex Curtner, the CIA’s Chief of Station for Russia and Ukraine, is in dire straits. His most critical operation is on the verge of collapse. Russian counterintelligence is closing in on a spy – Alex’s prized asset at the top of Moscow’s hierarchy.
It all started with a whisper. A traitor inside the Ukrainian General Staff tipped off the Russians: Ukraine had prior knowledge of Moscow’s war plans. Now the noose tightens, and Alex must do the impossible – unmask the traitor before the Russians can neutralize his asset.
But if they strike first, the CIA’s operation – and Alex himself – could be compromised, costing Ukraine territory and countless lives. And if the Ukrainians are pushed to the brink, the nuclear weapons they relinquished for hollow security guarantees could reemerge as a last desperate gamble.
From the war rooms of Langley to the blood-stained soil of Ukraine, this action espionage suspense thriller delivers a heart-pounding, raw, character-driven ride. The story infuses this spy novel with authentic intelligence tradecraft, where trust is an illusion, and betrayal is survival.
Where Sunflowers Stand is a modern espionage thriller in the tradition of John le Carré, David Ignatius, Mick Herron, and Paul Vidich, set against the urgent and rarely explored backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine war. This is a hauntingly relevant tale of secrets, sacrifice, and the quiet heroes who fight wars no one sees.
