Welcome to the page for the Cold War novel The Moscow Tape by John Nicholas Datesh, from Loiseau Media's Anyway Books imprint.

The Moscow Tape is set in the year before the 1980 Moscow Olympics, a quaintly simpler time of high-stakes espionage and deadly intrigue between the world's only two major powers.

For their showcase Olympics, Moscow needed fast food. Lawyer Chris Dunney only had to polish off a quick Soviet burger deal to make partner. Mostly, he had to not fall for a sexy dissident pinned on a KGB Most Wanted poster.

 Ambitious lawyer Christopher Dunney was not in Cold War Moscow looking for a cause. A last-minute substitute, Christopher was in Moscow to seal a fast food deal for the 1980 Moscow Olympics Games. It was going to be his big break at the firm, a partnership riding it.


    Christopher wasn't the kind of guy to fret about Russia's Jewish dissidents or their precious human rights. He had career-building on his mind, nothing else. He did not want anything or, especially, anyone getting in his way.
    Until he wanted Elizaveta Krylenkev.
    Elizaveta was the beautiful activist, a high-profile dissident who had expected the committed American attorney whom Christopher had replaced. Her disappointment with cynical Christopher did not last long, but Elizaveta had to parlay their mutual attraction into the most dangerous of actions.
    With a scrupulous Russian cop manipulating his every move, Christopher learned that Elizaveta had set him up to mule the decade's most explosive evidence: A tape that would implode the pending show trial of Russia's top dissident. The KGB would stop at nothing to get that evidence back.
    Christopher Dunney was nobody’s hero, yet, there he was, about to risk his career, his freedom and, yes, his life for...
    Being played always pissed Christoper off. That was his second biggest weakness.
    Damn it. Time to run.
