But an international cabal is luring Alexei Volkovoy back to those mountains and toward a confrontation with his old nemesis.

Shadow of the Wolf finds Colonel Alexei Volkovoy--covert agent of the Russian army and major player in the Moscow underworld--once again struggling to stay afloat in the swirling currents of Russian political and economic intrigue.
