1955, Rome. The war is over, but another has begun in the shadows. Spencer Greenstreet, a former OSS officer turned foreign correspondent, thought he'd left espionage behind. But when a Soviet defector is gunned down before his eyes, and Greenstreet seizes a classified file from the body, he is pulled back into a world of danger and deception. Inside lies a coded Soviet document-cryptic, urgent, and explosive. With no one else to trust, Greenstreet turns to CIA station chief Robert McKenna. Together they begin to unlock its secrets, uncovering a plot that could tip the balance of power in Europe. As the clock runs down, Greenstreet becomes the target of relentless KGB pursuit. In a city where allies wear masks and betrayal lurks in every shadow, one misstep could mean his death-and the unraveling of the West's fragile stability. A taut blend of Cold War espionage, Vatican intrigue, and breakneck suspense, Dateline: Rome plunges readers into 1950s Rome, where the price of failure is nothing less than Europe's future.
