A Vörös veréb-trilógia befejező része. Az orosz kémelhárítás vezetője, Dominyika Jegorova ezredes több mint hét éve kémkedik a CIA-nak. Ha mindez nem lenne elég, titkos szerelmi viszonyt folytat tartótisztjével, Nate Nash-sel, amivel minden írott és íratlan szabályt megszegnek, halálos veszélybe sodorják egymást, mégsem képesek ellenállni a kísértésnek. Mindeközben Washingtonban a nemrég beiktatott amerikai elnök új kormánytagokat választ maga mellé a kabinetjébe. Dominyika fülébe jut, hogy az orosz titkosszolgálat a saját vakondját készül egy magas rangú hírszerzői posztra ültetni. Ha a Kreml jelöltjét nevezik ki, az oroszok azonnal tudomást szereznek a CIA összes moszkvai ügynökének kilétéről, Dominyikát is beleértve. Dominyika versenyfutásba kezd az idővel, és beleveti magát a Kreml falai között zajló intrikákba, hogy még több titkos információt szerezzen meg Putyin legbelső köreiből, és kiderítse, ki lehet az oroszok vakondja, mielőtt még túl késő lenne. Lélegzetelállítóan izgalmas, Bécstől Hongkongon és New Yorkon át Törökországig vezető akciósorozat veszi kezdetét, míg végül Vlagyimir Putyin egymilliárd dolláros fekete-tengeri palotájában érnek össze a szálak. A veterán CIA-s Jason Matthews Vörös veréb-trilógiájának záró kötete lebilincselően szövevényes és nyugtalanítóan aktuális finálé, szalagcímeket idéző fordulatokkal. A Kreml jelöltje ízig-vérig 21. századi kémregény, mely méltó folytatása az Edgar-díjjal kitüntetett Vörös verébnek és Az árulás palotájának.
