Book Description
A royally connected candidate is going for gold at the Moscow Olympic Games. But a mysterious 'Aloysha' has threatened to turn it into an international incident. Ex-steeplechaser Randall Drew knows more about horses than Russians - and more about farming than spying. Yet he still finds himself Moscow-bound, armed only with a vague brief and an invisible opposition. It's time for a winter crash course in Soviet diplomacy . . . 'Trial Run is entirely enjoyable' New York Times
