" La Russie est une maison de fous. Personne ne sait ce qui s'y passe, pas même Eltsine ". A la DIA - les services secrets de la Défense américaine - on n'hésite pas à dire brutalement ce que les autres feignent d'ignorer. Et en particulier que les armes nucléaires disséminées sur tout le territoire de l'ex-URSS sont à vendre au plus offrant. Mais qui les vend ? Et à qui ? C'est pour le savoir, à tout prix, que Jake Grafton débarque à Moscou. Et le trafic qu'il va découvrir, où des éléments de la CIA n'ont pas hésité à faire alliance avec la vieille garde communiste, donnera froid dans le dos à cet officier de valeur, qui a méthodiquement appris, naguère, comment exterminer plusieurs millions d'êtres humains en quelques secondes. Jamais, depuis la chute du régime soviétique, le monde n'avait été si près de la désintégration finale. Et jamais le romancier du Vol de l'Intruder et d'Etat de siège ne s'était montré aussi bien renseigné, aussi terriblement convaincant...

Fidel Castro se meurt. De l'autre côté du détroit de Floride, les Etats-Unis attendent avec appréhension l'inévitable lutte pour le pouvoir qui va se jouer sur cette île d'une inestimable valeur stratégique. Une raison supplémentaire inquiète le président américain : la conférence sur le contrôle des armements vient juste de commencer à Paris alors que les Etats-Unis ont dissimulé des armes secrètes sur leur base de Guantanamo Bay. Comment les faire disparaître ? Une des factions cubaines n'en a-t-elle pas découvert l'existence ? Seul le contre-amiral Grafton, à la tête d'un porte-avions au large de Cuba, a conscience du danger qu'il va devoir affronter. Lui seul peut sauver les Etats-Unis d'un désastre qui ferait passer la crise de la baie des Cochons pour une partie de plaisir.
