BLOOD RED SQUARE is the story of the creation and redemption of a terrorist. It is also a story of revenge.

It starts with the death of the UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold in a plane crash in the Congo in 1961. Considered suspicious at the time, no evidence surfaced to show that it was anything other than an accident. However, secret KGB documents pointing to collusion between Moscow and Washington in the death of Hammarskjold are 'liberated' from KGB archives by Misha Kedrov, an enigmatic Russian entrepreneur. Kedrov plans to use the documents to avenge the murder of his parents.

He is joined by Conor Brady, aka Eduardo Kelly Herrera, an Argentinian, on the run, turned terrorist from circumstance and not from ideology.

Only one man can thwart Misha Kedrov, stop Conor Brady, and prevent the chaos they plan. That man is Owen MacDara, special envoy of the President of the United States, a man who moves with equal ease in the halls of power or on the dark killing fields of international intrigue. But MacDara is consumed with his own agony: he has just lost his partner who died in childbirth.

The story commences in New York and Moscow, introducing Owen MacDara , Misha Kedrov, and Conor Brady… and we watch history repeat itself as the Acting UN Secretary General is assassinated in Moscow.
In Argentina we learn of the circumstance that turns Eduardo Kelly Herrera into Conor Brady, the terrorist. We also discover the origins of Misha Kedrov and his family who move from Argentina to Birobidzhan (the Jewish Autonomous homeland) in Siberia. Much later we see the slaughter, in Mongolia, of Kedrov's parents by Russian forces, the act that sows the seeds of revenge in young Misha.
Owen MacDara joins the hunt for the killer of the acting UN Secretary General in Moscow. He learns about the KGB documents that point to CIA/KGB collusion in the 1961 murder of Dag Hammarskjold. We discover that Misha Kedrov plans to use these documents to end détente and bring chaos to Russia. And he plans to do so at the next G8 conference in Birmingham, England.

MacDara's search for the KGB agent who contracted Hammarskjold's death in the Congo leads him to a prison in the Kuzbass region in Siberia where he confirms the name of the CIA agent involved. The action gains pace in Connecticut, Florida, New York, Washington & Texas as MacDara seeks those who know the secret of Hammarskjold's death before Conor Brady finds and kills them. MacDara's too late to save the CIA agent and too late to prevent Misha Kedrov using torture to videotape a confession, naming names in Washington. Names of those who ordered the assassination of the UN Secretary General. A videotape that Kedrov will use to stunning effect at the G8 conference.

Conor Brady is the linchpin in the final contest, a man increasingly uncomfortable with the life of terror that he's followed. Can Owen MacDara get him to change sides. And, if he agrees, can Owen MacDara trust him. There is no assurance of that as the world's leaders converge at the G8 Summit in Birmingham, England…where Misha Kedrov plans to exact his revenge …and where Owen MacDara must defeat Kedrov and Brady and save the Western Alliance.
