Where Sunflowers Stand is a modern espionage thriller in the tradition of John le Carré and Charles Cumming but set against the urgent and rarely explored backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine war.
With the psychological depth of Paul Vidich and the geopolitical precision of David McCloskey, the novel follows CIA Chief of Station Alex Curtner as he races to protect a high-ranking Russian asset from exposure while hunting a traitor within Ukraine’s own military leadership.
This is a cerebral, character-driven spy novel grounded in real-world intelligence tradecraft – where the battlefield is as much Kyiv and Langley as it is the human soul.
From the CIA’s covert operation to the frontlines of Ukraine’s war with Russia, this action espionage suspense thriller delivers a heart-pounding ride where trust is an illusion and betrayal is survival.
