Putin's Gambit: A Novel

Terrorist attacks provide cover for a Russian invasion in this international thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author and news anchor.

With a stressful Wall Street job and a challenging romance, former Marine Derek Walsh is struggling to adjust to civilian life. But when a mysterious $200 million dollar money transfer is made on his computer, he is thrust into the world of international terror, and the global economy is knocked off its hinges.

On the other side of the Atlantic, a dangerous alliance has formed. Radical Islamists and Russian extremists have set the wheels in motion for Russia to assert its power in Europe. With a weak US President, and the American military stretched too thin, Vladimir Putin seizes the moment for Russia to regain its Soviet Empire—and Estonia will be his first conquest.

The FBI believes Walsh was involved in the money transfer, and a group of Russians are intent on killing him. As New Yorkers are outraged upon learning of the scandal, and the world economy crashes after a series of terrorist attacks, Walsh and his Marine buddies are the only ones who can keep the world from spinning off its axis.
