      Návykový a velmi inteligentní thriller odehrávající se přímo v temném srdci komunistického režimu v období studené války. Štědrý den roku 1985. Na Rudém náměstí je nalezeno odkrvené a vyholené tělo mladého muže. Vzápětí zmizí dcera britského velvyslance. Pátráním je pověřen Tom Fox, major vojenské tajné služby, který je do Moskvy nuceně převelen. Jenže poslední, co mohou Sověti potřebovat, je cizí agent čmuchající v jejich rajonu. A vrah, jehož existenci Sověti nemohou vůbec přiznat, se chystá znovu mstít. První vražda byla totiž jen varováním.
