Where Sunflowers Stand: A Traitor in Ukraine. A Spy in Russia. A CIA Man. And the Fight for Freedom.

Alex Curtner, the CIA’s Chief of Station for Russia and Ukraine, must expose a traitor before Russian counterintelligence catches his most valuable spy.

A traitor inside Ukraine’s General Staff has tipped off the Russians: Ukraine had advance knowledge of Moscow’s war plans. Now, Russian counterintelligence is closing in on Alex’s prized source near the top of Moscow’s hierarchy.

To protect his source, Alex must uncover the traitor. If the Russians strike first, his operation – and Alex himself – could be compromised, costing Ukraine territory and countless lives. And if Ukraine is pushed to the brink, a return to nuclear arms could become a last, desperate gamble.

From the war rooms of Langley to the blood-stained soil of Ukraine, Where Sunflowers Stand combines intelligence tradecraft with the personal pressures of a mission where misplaced trust can prove fatal. At stake are the lives of those operating in secret and the freedom of those they are trying to protect.

For readers drawn to the morally complex espionage of John le Carré and the geopolitical intrigue of David Ignatius, Where Sunflowers Stand is a story of betrayal, sacrifice, and the quiet heroes fighting a war the world cannot see.
