Chasing The Winter's Wind - David Trawinski

. .

Résumé :
Retired CIA officer Stanley Wisniewski is being hunted across Europe by his former agency. Jack Trellis, the CIA Deputy Director, wants Stanley silenced permanently, fearing the knowledge Stanley has of his own corruption. Trellis has called upon Diane The Huntress Sterling, Stanley's former prot?g?, to lead the search for aging spy. Unknown to Diane, whose orders are to capture Stanley alive, Trellis has added Special Ops Agent Carlyle to the team to kill Stanley once Diane has found him. Stanley is driven by his love for Agnieszka. She lost her father to the Soviets at the Massacre of Katyn in 1940. When Stanley first recruited her to work for the CIA in the late 1970's, she agreed in hopes of ending the USSR's strangling dominance over her beloved country of Poland. Together with her son, working in the shipyards of Gdansk, they form the link from the Solidarity Trade Union to the CIA. Chasing The Winter's Wind takes the reader through a suspenseful and deadly chase across modern Europe, while weaving in the story of Poland's role in ending Communism through the inspired and determined rise of Solidarity. The final victory of Poland over Communism comes at a personal cost for Stanley Wisniewski, who carries with him the secrets of Trellis corruption.
