Ex-CIA officer Kirk McGarvey is called back in action as the new Russia faces its most insidious threat: the return of Communism. Yevgenni Anatolevich Tarankov, "the Tarantula", is determined to turn back the clock to a time when one man ruled with an iron hand. If Russia is to survive in the family of nations, and continue on the path to an open and free society, the Tarantula must die. All that is needed is an assassin - and McGarvey soon finds that any chance for Russian democracy rests on a bullet with the Tarantula's name on it.
