Some how I missed this one on my way through the series...Dewey, recovering from the death of his fiancé, is drawn into an Agency effort to stop a rogue Russian, 50s A-bomb from reach our shores...the mad man behind the effort is a Russian genius hacker with a huge motive for revenge on America...The usual good stuff!
