John Corey has traded his Anti-Terrorist Task Force badge for a quieter assignment with the Diplomatic Surveillance Group. His new job involves watching Russian diplomats at the U.N. Mission in New York City. The work seems routine until Vasily Petrov vanishes from a Southampton party hosted by a Russian oligarch. Petrov operates as a diplomat but serves as a colonel in Russian Foreign Intelligence. Corey must locate the missing operative while the U.S. government fails to grasp the growing Russian threat. His investigation uncovers signs of a potential nuclear attack called a radiant angel. Manhattan becomes the target in what feels like a new Cold War. Corey races against time to find Petrov and stop whatever plan the Russians have set in motion. The former task force agent faces his most dangerous case yet as America confronts the possibility of a devastating assault.
