Cover Story Colin Burke #2

Journalist Colin Burke may have escaped with his life at the end of Soviet Sources, but he hasnt gotten any savvier about protecting it; hes still snooping around Moscow. True, the regime has changed his sources arent Soviets anymore but the men in the corridors of power still have little interest in answering questions, and still employ an army of thugs to prevent people like Burke from asking them.For the moment, Burkes questions are almost painfully benign: His bosses at the magazine in Washington want a feel-good piece about Moscows Jewish community. However, what Burke discovers at a run-down synagogue has little to do with latkes, and everything to do with the possibility that Russias nuclear scientists are now making bombs for Syria. Burkes got a hot story again, and he couldnt be happier. But he may not survive to collect the Pulitzer. First rate . . .
