From TV broadcaster Lou Dobbs, Putin's Gambit is an international financial thriller about a former Marine's attempt to stop a KGB plot

Former Marine Derek Walsh is having difficulty adjusting to civilian life. This challenge is magnified tenfold when an inexplicable $200 million money transfer is made on his computer―but not by him. Hurled into a world of global terror, Walsh discovers a violent plot for Russia to assert its power in Europe, a plot beginning with an Estonian invasion.

Walsh flees, pursued by both the FBI and a group of Russians intent on silencing him. Around him, the country turns to chaos as the world economy crashes and terrorists launch a series of attacks. With the clock ticking steadily closer to doomsday, the former Marine must convince the FBI of his innocence and stay ahead of his pursuers long enough to keep the world from spinning off its axis.
