Alex Velesky has the key that can unlock the truth behind a web of illicit payments the Russians have spread around the globe. The money is used to subvert governments, pay off politicians and bankroll terrorist groups-among other things. But the only man who can put the information together and share it with the world is four thousand miles away in New York City. There's no way Velesky can hope to stay ahead of the killers on his trail for that long. Lucky for him, he's got an ace up his sleeve. Zoya Zhakarova-former KGB officer, former CIA agent, and current lover of the Gray Man-is determined to get the information and its courier safely to their destination. What she doesn't know is that there is one particularly dangerous force standing in her path-Court Gentry.
