Book #1 in the Karl Adams series.
Karl Adams is a new CIA officer living undercover in Murmansk, Russia, as a Spanish graduate student at the local university. On a chilly evening while out with a friend flying a drone, he videos a missile on a transporter erector launcher being loaded aboard a merchant ship. When he tells Langley, he is whisked back to the States for debrief and then to South America to follow up on what could be a major break in the Russia-America arms treaty.
