It's the Cold War...day one and nobody knows what the rules are. This is especially true for the Americans, who don't even have a working national spy agency yet. Into the shadows steps Agent Shawn Riggs of the US Army Counterintelligence Corps. He's a soldier on a mission; catch a renegade MI6 agent, code name "Red Coat," before the commie traitor can reach Moscow. But the mission isn't as straight forward as it seems. Soon, Shawn finds himself caught deep in communist territory, chased by the secret police and wanted for desertion by his own army. Red Coat Running is Clayton J. Callahan's first spy novel since retiring from the US Army where he served as a Counterintelligence Special Agent in Iraq.
