A dead CIA asset. A twelve-year secret. The man who built it all is still out there. When off-books operative Cole Harker is sent to Kyiv to investigate the death of a trusted contact, he finds more than a body. Hidden in a Kyiv safe house is an archive - meticulous, damning, years in the making - documenting a joint CIA-GRU intelligence program that was never supposed to exist. A program that has been shaping NATO policy from the inside for over a decade. Someone wanted Harker to find it. Now he's in Warsaw with a forged credential, a Ukrainian intelligence officer watching his back, and a handler in Langley who knows more than she's telling. The summit opens in forty-eight hours. The cells are in position. And the man who built the entire architecture has come to Warsaw to watch it come apart. The Kyiv Protocols is a spy thriller in the tradition of le Carré and Daniel Silva - morally serious, procedurally exact, built on the belief that the most dangerous intelligence operations are the ones that look, from the inside, like they're working.
