Publisher's Synopsis
The KGB, on orders from the Kremlin, must find Russia's most precious icon, taken by Napoleon in his siege of Moscow in 1812, and secreted away in Vilnius, Lithuania-with Napoleon's paramour. Lost for more than a century, now in 1991, the KGB is in a race against time to track down his paramour's descendant, a history professor at the University of Vilnius, to find and recovery the icon before Lithuania breaks away from the disintegrating Soviet Union.
