“An exciting novel that feels like a genre of its own – entertaining, thought-provoking, and beautifully written. I was hooked from page one.”
August 1985. The Cold War is beginning to thaw. But in Moscow, nothing is ever simple.
Henrik Bertelsen is a Danish computer salesman, sent behind the Iron Curtain to help secure a deal that could save his struggling American employer.
The reward is huge: cutting-edge supercomputers for the Soviet raw materials and energy industries. Under Gorbachev’s glasnost and perestroika, Moscow wants Western technology to modernise a stagnating superpower. American corporations see a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Intelligence agencies see a nightmare.
Henrik eyes adventure and a career-making assignment.
But from the moment he arrives in Moscow, he discovers that business is only the surface. His hotel room is searched. Helpful strangers appear at convenient moments. Diplomats offer advice with hidden meanings. Soviet officials speak in riddles. And the KGB is watching—not because Henrik knows secrets, but because one day he might.
In a system built on secrecy, hierarchy, fear, and favours, technical superiority is not enough. To win, Henrik must learn how power really moves: through unofficial channels, personal loyalties, quiet threats, and carefully placed money.
Each compromise seems manageable. Each one brings him closer to the contract. And each one pulls him further from the values he thought were non-negotiable.
Meticulously researched and set against the real tensions of the late Cold War, The Dollar Compass is a gripping political and business novel about ambition, corruption, espionage, and the price of letting money become your guide.
