Langley has no idea how the KGB seems to be able to predict the CIA\'s every move, but some believe they are using an invisible electromagnetic powder That allows them to keep tabs on anyone who touches it: spy dust..
In the last three years, ten CIA operatives have been executed or neutralized.
It is the twilight of the Cold War, and the KGB is at its most ruthless.
Moscow, 1988.
During a fascinating odyssey That began in Indochina fifteen years before and ends in a breathtakingly daring operation in the heart of the Kremlin\'s Palace of Congresses, Spy Dust catapults the reader from the Hindu Kush to Hollywood, from Havana to Moscow, but cannot truly conclude until its protagonists are safely wedded in rural Maryland.
At the same time, Tony and Jonna find themselves falling deeply in love.
Working against known and unknown hostile forces, as well as some unfriendly elements within the CIA, they devise controversial new operational methods and techniques to foil the KGB, and show the extraordinary lengths That US intelligence is willing to go to protect a source, then rescue him when his world starts to collapse.
CIA officers Tony Mendez and Jonna Goeser come together to head up a team of technical wizards and operational specialists, determined to solve the mystery That threatens to overshadow the Cold War\'s final act.
Others speculate That the KGB\'s surveillance successes have been heightened by the invention of an invisible electromagnetic powder That allows them to keep tabs on anyone who touches it: spy dust.
Some blame the defection of Edward Lee Howard three years before, and suspect That there are more high-placed moles to be unearthed.

Ten CIA agents and double-agents have gone missing in the last three years.
