This Czech-language book, based on true events, tells the story of two remarkable men locked in a cat-and-mouse game during the final days of the Cold War. A massive leak of secret war plans and strategic information about nuclear weapons places America and the entire Western world under a real threat of destruction. FBI special agent Joe Navarro, the books author, notices during a routine interview that a suspects cigarette trembles slightly when a soldier involved in espionage is mentioned. This small clue enables him to persuade his superiors to begin an investigation, launching a two-year battle of wits without parallel in the history of counterintelligence. Navarro cannot openly reveal his suspicions without alarming his target, while the traitor takes pleasure in the duel itself. To obtain the necessary information, Navarro must think like a chess master planning twenty moves ahead. Their struggle unfolds against the collapse of the Soviet Union, when a devastating attack by the leaders of the crumbling superpower remains a very real possibility. Navarro discovers that the suspect has given the Soviets everything they need to destroy America. The book is the true story of a determined hero whose extraordinary perseverance ultimately leads to complete exhaustion, while raising troubling questions about the risks that the disclosure of the most sensitive state secrets may still pose today.
