A Step Behind — Robert Stone

“When Mason Wilson from the NSA teams with Richard Jackson of the British MI6 to find a Chemical Engineer who has disappeared in the oil and gas fields of Siberia, an avalanche of unexpected and unintended consequences tumbles down. High tech fraud, murder, attempted murder, people trafficking and prostitution are but a small part of this game of cat and mouse where joint security operations are always A Step Behind. Intelligence operatives from both sides of the previous ‘Iron Curtain' are unable to identify the dark force controlling illicit global activities. A cyber puppeteer remains nameless behind a shield of electronic wizardry to the end. The final shocking twist leaves the combined talents of the NSA and MI6 stunned.”
