Catherine Schmidt is the beautiful young daughter of an assassinated spymaster, whose quest for vengeance has left her at the hands of the infamous Head of Soviet State Security. On a secret operation, in Soviet-occupied Germany, Hammond has no knowledge of the forces that support and oppose his mission.
