Loose Ends

Loose Ends: A Biographies of Espionage Thriller Based on True Cold War Events

Monte Carlo, 1975. Grand Prix week.
Tourists flood the casinos. Champagne flows on yacht decks. But in the sewers below the Riviera, a heist team cracks the vault at Casino de Monte-Carlo and vanishes with millions.

Doc, an American intelligence operative trying to stay off the grid for awhile, stumbles across a body in an alley. What follows drags him back into the shadow world he thought he'd left behind: a stolen Soviet dossier containing names, operations, and orders signed at the highest levels of KGB intelligence-secrets that could topple governments if they reach the wrong hands.

Sergei Volkov, ex-KGB enforcer turned freelance killer, didn't plan on stealing the dossier. But once he realized what was in that vault, he knew it was worth more than all the cash combined. Now he's trying to auction it to the highest bidder-Mossad, British intelligence, CIA-while staying one step ahead of the KGB team sent to kill him and bury the evidence.

Every agency wants the dossier.
Every agency is hunting Volkov.
And Doc is caught in the middle.

As ambushes unfold in back alleys, underground tunnels, and smoke-filled safe houses, the line between ally and predator disappears. Western services, Mossad, and the KGB collide in operations that will never make the headlines-and Doc is left to navigate a war no one will ever officially admit happened.

For readers who devour biographies of espionage and authentic Cold War tradecraft, Loose Ends reads like the kind of after-action report that was never meant to see daylight. This is espionage grounded in real intelligence operations-no gadgets, no superhero spies, just the messy, deadly reality of 1970s covert ops.

Survival isn't a mission.
It's a debt.
And Doc's enemies want it paid in blood.
