The fall of the Berlin wall and the dismantling of the Soviet Empire changed the world, engendered new rivalries and started a new kind of Cold War.

A document has surfaced, listing the names of American citizens who had shady dealings with the secret police of former East Germany.

The Cold War: the golden age of American and Soviet spies, a time when everything was clear-cut and simple. We're the good guys, they're the bad guys. Nowadays, CIA operatives like Alpha often feel more like commercial envoys than secret agents. When bodies start to drop in Washington, though, a boring mission that includes playing tourist guide to a Russian delegation suddenly becomes much more dangerous. An old bogeyman from the Cold War, long thought dead, has reappeared.

Meanwhile, Betty Barnowsky-Prseau is off to Maine to dig into XIII's past.
