Russian counterintelligence chief Colonel Dominika Egorova has been an asset of the CIA for over seven years.

She has also been in a forbidden and tumultuous love affair with her handler Nate Nash, mortally dangerous for them both.

In Washington, a new administration is selecting its cabinet members, where Dominika hears whispers of a Russian operation to place a mole in a high intelligence position.

If the candidate is confirmed, the Kremlin will have access to the identities of CIA assets in Moscow.

Including Dominika.

Dominika recklessly immerses herself into searching for the mole's identity - before her time runs out . . .

With a plot ripped from tomorrow's headlines, The Kremlin's Candidate is a riveting read and a thrilling conclusion to the trilogy than began with Red Sparrow and Palace of Treason.
