The Russian Operation

A fearless diplomat. A dangerous mission. And only one way out. <br/> Joey Torino would be out-of-the-mould in almost any career. He is tough, independent, and doesn&apos;t shy away from confrontation. But he is an American diplomat, who has recently been suspended and recalled to Washington because of his involvement in a fight while assigned to the US embassy in Moscow. <br/> In spite of his reputation, or because of it, the senior levels of the State Department choose him for an unusual and dangerous assignment. A diplomatic colleague from the US Embassy in Moscow has gone missing in the high mountains of the Caucasus, where a local rebellion is being suppressed by Russian military forces. <br/> For the State Department, Torino is expendable. Sending him on this mission will show the US government is trying to find the missing diplomat, but it will also be a small gesture and will not alarm the Russian government. <br/> Torino doesn&apos;t hesitate to plunge into the middle of the conflict. But he finds a complex situation, from which there is no easy way out and where the best conclusion may not be the one he has been asked to deliver. <br/> When he chooses the dangerous path, the conflicting forces are closing in on him. Will the fearless Joey Torino find a way out?
