Near the end of the Cold War, Kaitlyn Stewart lands an apprenticeship at the Vienna State Opera. Soon after her arrival, she is recruited by the CIA, becoming the only female high-profile operative in Mission: THAW. Both the CIA and MI6 are racing against time to uncover a human trafficking cartel orchestrated by fascist Western politicians in collaboration with the East Germans and the KGB. These groups are exploiting refugees from the former satellite countries of the USSR.

Mission: THAW’s objective is to infiltrate the cartel, shut down the trafficking network, and dismantle the slave labor in East Germany. Success is critical: if the GDR economy collapses, the Berlin Wall will fall. Kaitlyn, under the guise of an opera singer, penetrates the inner circles of the KGB and neo-Nazis, only to discover a far more sinister plan: blueprints for a dirty bomb.

Guided by MI6 agent Clive Matthews, considered the best secret agent in the free world, Kaitlyn maneuvers through the complexities of this high-stakes mission, facing danger and deception at every turn.
