Publisher's Synopsis
"A tense and razor-sharp thriller that captures the dark underbelly of Cold War diplomacy-riveting from start to finish." - Ambassador Alfredo Labbé
Treaty. Deception. Survival.
A legal thriller that dives deep into the geopolitical chessboard of the late Cold War-where international law becomes a weapon, and truth is a matter of allegiance.
In The Proxy Pact, former Intelligence Sergeant Sang Yeob Kim weaves a gripping tale of espionage and betrayal centred on the controversial Article X of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). When a secretive coalition of states prepares to withdraw from the treaty under the guise of sovereign defence, legal advisor Jack Dalton is hired to legitimise their move-only to uncover a conspiracy spanning world capitals, defence contractors, and Cold War proxies.
Paired with Elena Petrova, a KGB lawyer walking her own tightrope between loyalty and survival, Jack must decide whether to uphold the law-or expose how international treaties can be twisted to serve the ambitions of power.
