Description:

"Richard Hoyt is an expert writer." -The New York Times

If his plan worked, he would bring
Russia to its knees. But if he failed . . .

When poet lsaak Ginsburg innocently asks Soviet authorities for permission to emigrate, he is sent instead to a Siberian work camp. After two inhuman years, he is released . . . seemingly a model of reform.

But Ginsburg has a plot for revenge . . . a devious, bizarre plan which could bring the Soviet government to its knees.

With the help of the beautiful wife of a Russian diplomat, a group of dissident Estonians, residents of a cancer, clinic-and unconventional CIA agent James Burlane-Ginsburg puts his plan into action.

For one year’s open emigration from Soviet bloc countries, he plans to steal-and ransom-Russia’s most precious national relic . . . the Head of State.

"Madcap Marxist suspense . . . shows Hoyt in his best form. Ginsburg has far more weight and dignity than is common to a thriller." -Kirkus Reviews

"HEAD OF STATE conducts the suspense novel at a new level of literacy . . . ingenious and forceful." -Brian O’Doherty
