Their counterintelligence director Ara Schott, normally a desk man, goes along to Yalta to talk to Philby. The news is a shock – Presidential nominee Derek Townes is a KGB agent. But when the CIA investigates Townes, they learn something worse. Townes is convinced he’s Leon Trotsky. Now the question is, who wants to get rid of Townes more: the CIA or the KGB?” (-The Library Journal from rear wrap)
