Publisher's summary

Something very strange -- and sinister -- is going on in the Russian woods at Borodino. In a place called Mrs. Ivanova's Charm School, young KGB agents are being taught by American POW's how to be model citizens of the USA. The Soviet goal -- to infiltrate the United States undetected.

When an unsuspecting American tourist stumbles upon this secret, he sets in motion a CIA investigation that will reveal horrifying police state savagery and superpower treachery.

©1999 Nelson DeMille (P)2009 Hachette

Excellent book and narration

This was an excellent novel and audiobook. I usually judge a book by whether I can immerse myself in the story and visualize the characters and scenes. This book did not disappoint!

A very riveting spy novel. The characters aren’t super deep but it was a really enjoyable read. I would love to see a sequel about the American version of the charm school.

One of My Favorites of All Time

I first read this book in the early 90s, when I was a member of the US Intelligence Community. I loved it then and I love it now.
