A desperate pair, accompanied by a baby girl, flee across cloud-cloaked mountains in Ken Follett's thrilling story of deadly intrigue and deadlier love on the contested border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. A young American female hospital administrator, a Czech doctor and a mysterious American each have their private reason for arriving in this embattled region of the former Soviet Union, where mountain-bred freedom fighters wage a fierce guerrilla war against their neighbours and scheming Russian hard-liners. At the centre of the battle is elusive Azeri leader Safar Khan, champion of Azerbaijan's democracy and independence. He wants to sell its oil to the Americans - and the Russian-led mercenaries have to prevent that at all costs. As Safar Khan sweeps down from his hidden retreat, treachery seeks its prey. A brave and beautiful woman finds herself trapped between two opposing loyalties - to the man she loves and to her husband.
Red Eagle is a story of love and violent betrayal with the writers building the menacing tension to an ultimate confrontation that echoes our worst nightmares.
