A military coup attempt against Stalin by a cadre of senior Soviet officers. . . A British agent abandoned in Moscow by the Churchill government, which must deny any connection to the conspiracy. . . Tsar Nicholas's illegitimate son seeking to avenge his father's murder. . . Two women drawn into the operation and a love affair with the same man. . .
