Icebound Intelligence

A deadly betrayal. A forgotten identity. A woman on the run with the Cold War at her heels.

Behind the Iron Curtain, nothing is as it seems-and trust is the most dangerous weapon of all.

In the frigid shadow of the Cold War, a highly trained American intelligence operative is embedded deep in Eastern Europe. Her mission is simple: gather intel, stay invisible, and survive. But when a routine contact goes fatally wrong, everything unravels. Ambushed, betrayed by someone she once trusted, and imprisoned without trial, she is stripped of her identity and subjected to brutal interrogations in a nameless facility far from home.

But she doesn't break.

Instead, she waits. She watches. And when the moment comes-she runs.

Disappearing into the vast gray sprawl of the Soviet bloc, she sheds her past like a second skin. She adopts new names, new lives, and a steely silence that becomes her armor. With every false identity, every coded message, and every hushed contact in a dim-lit alleyway, she begins to piece together the scale of the betrayal-and the true nature of the power struggle she was unknowingly caught in.

Hunted by enemy agents and abandoned by her own agency, she must rely on her wits, her training, and the few allies she dares to trust. As she races across borders and decades of secrets, one thing becomes clear: she can't go home, and she might not survive. But if she does-she'll expose a conspiracy that could change the course of history.

A hauntingly tense blend of espionage, psychological resilience, and human vulnerability, Icebound Intelligence captures the chilling paranoia of the Cold War era with cinematic precision. From covert operations to quiet betrayals, from prison cells to hidden safe houses, this novel plunges the reader into a world where truth is elusive, identities are weapons, and silence can be the only safety.

Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Ken Follett, and John le Carr?/b>, this female-led spy thriller explores the emotional cost of secrecy and the courage it takes to reclaim your own story when the world has erased you.

Will she vanish into history-or force it to remember her?
