About this series
The Secret city of Chelyabinsk is the most radioactive city on earth. Here the Soviet Union manufactures its nuclear weapons. Here salamanders glow.
After graduating first in his class from GRU's Military-Diplomatic Academy, GRU officer Mikhail Khalatsyn is sent to Chelyabinsk to investigate a charge of treason against a Russian scientist. Mikhail finds this first assignment both distasteful and humiliating. Both he and the scientist are Afro-Russians. Mikhail's father left America's Jim Crow South in 1933 and immigrated to the Soviet Union.
Is the scientist truly a traitor or just another black man being set up to take the fall?
It's up to Mikhail find out.
