Cold Victory by Karl Marlantes is set in Helsinki, 1947. Finland is precariously balanced between the Soviet Union and the West, and everyone is being watched.

At an embassy party, Finnish-American Arnie Koski and Russian Mikhail Bobrov, in a state of intoxication, challenge each other to a friendly — yet clandestine — cross-country ski race. However, the stakes become higher than either could have imagined.

While the two skiers are unreachable in the arctic wilderness, news of the race is leaked to the media, with Russia's brutal secret police awaiting the outcome. This is another masterful novel from the author of the modern classic Matterhorn.
