Incident in Budapest
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mort Ahrens thinks he is flying to Budapest to profile Svetlana Ivanov, the dazzling Bolshoi ballerina whose fame hides a dangerous secret. Instead, a gray-suited government handler turns the assignment into a covert mission: retrieve intelligence that could expose Russia’s nuclear readiness and help Svetlana defect. In Budapest’s grand opera houses, rooftop bars, and shadowed streets, Mort must separate truth from seduction, patriotism from manipulation, and courage from recklessness. Back home, his brilliant wife Danni is drawn into her own constitutional battle after a violent ICE confrontation, raising the stakes for the family Mort may never see again. Fast, witty, and topical, Incident in Budapest blends espionage, mystery, and family drama.
