Imperfect Burials

Finn Waters is a U.S. correspondent willing to take serious risks to chase a story that could lift him to the standing of his famous journalist father, who disappeared during the Hungarian Revolution. The path he chooses carries a cost he has not yet recognized.

With only three days before the secret police notice he is missing from the 1989 Round Table Talks in Warsaw, Finn slips undercover into Russia to settle, once and for all, who was behind the massacre of 22,000 Polish officers and members of the country's professional class during the Second World War. He is certain the revelation would spark a worldwide outcry strong enough to shake the already unstable Soviet Union. He also hopes that such acclaim might mend the troubles in his marriage.

If his wife, Clarissa, or his editor at the New York Times learns that he has joined forces with a triple agent and become an international thief, they will kill him. Moscow's operatives have no interest in melodrama and are determined to see him dead. Then, without warning, the United States disowns him, leaving Finn a spy with no nation and a man forever searching for a way home.
