colony the radio broadcasts news of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy...
Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vasin's new posting as director of a gulag camp in the middle of
the frozen tundra is far from a promotion. This is where disgraced agents like Vasin
disappear - sent to die forgotten. And quietly. But tensions in the camp are running high and
when a violent revolt breaks out Vasin finds himself on the run. With him is a mysterious
prisoner - who holds the key to the most dangerous secret in the world: who ordered Kennedy's
murder. In a breathless race that takes them through the Soviet Union - from the barren
Siberian wastelands to the stunning halls of the Katerina Palace and the grey streets of
Leningrad and Moscow - Vasin must stay one step ahead of the most ruthless spy and police
organizations in the world . . . and keep the most wanted man in Russia alive. It's a journey
that will push Vasin's loyalty morality and his patriotism to the limit. And he must confront
the ultimate choice: fall in line or die fighting the system. With masterful storytelling that
weaves together an explosive moment in history with the cutthroat machinations of Soviet
politics Owen Matthews' White Fox captures the paradigm-shifting assassination from a unique
Soviet point of view. This is a page-turning thriller - a race against time across Soviet
Russia where the participants face impossible odds and must decide between truth justice and
all-out war.
