Summary

Consider this fact:

When John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, senior KGB officials did not celebrate.

They didn’t bring out the vodka, the caviar, or the cigars.

They didn’t plot how to exploit the chaos.

They panicked.

Files were destroyed. Documents burned. Cables flew between Moscow and foreign embassies—not out of triumph, but fear.

Fear of escalation.
Fear of nuclear war.

Because even if they were not involved, one incontrovertible truth remained:
Soviet intelligence did have contingency plans for Kennedy’s assassination. And for every major Western political leader—presidents, NATO generals, heads of state.

This book imagines what would happen if those plans were carried out—but in the modern world. A decapitation strike against the US and NATO.

Gripping, seductive, and unrelenting, The Dissonant is a razor-edged espionage thriller for fans of John le Carré, Lee Child, and Robert Ludlum.
