Betrayal is the coldest cut.
It's 1974, and Satellite photo analyst Kate Ahlstrand has been assigned to work for her father in the CIA's prestigious Soviet Division.
When her concerns about possible Russian military activity near the South Pole are included in a White House intelligence briefing, she's sent undercover with a team from the National Science Foundation to investigate. But as the long polar night sets in, she finds herself hurled headlong into a deadly game of cat and mouse at the bottom of the world.
Only then, in her most desperate hour, will she discover the truth-that someone back at Langley has betrayed her to her Russian hosts and, like Judas in Gethsemane, thrown her to the wolves.
Inspired by real events.
