Sinopsis
Enter a world of coded messages, secret gatherings, maps made by spies, walls that have ears, cellars dripping with menace, skyscrapers that trap you in the clouds, and elevator rides that could be your last.
When Harrison, the 14-year-old son of American diplomats, lands in Moscow at the height of the Cold War, all he wants is to be left alone with his daydreams and his music.
But his father has vanished. His mother is keeping secrets. And his friend Prudence, the fearless daughter of foreign correspondents, leads him on a chase across a frozen city that changes everything.
Surrounded by danger on all sides, Harrison and Prudence race against spies and mobsters to recover a priceless vinyl record that just might save the world from nuclear war.
Loaded with suspense, packed with puzzles, and laced with sly humor, Back in the USSR takes you on a wild ride — inspired by the author’s own experiences growing up at U.S. embassies during the Cold War — that keeps you on the edge of your seat right up to its emotional, uplifting ending.
A follow-up to the author’s Strawberry Fields (either book can be read first), it’s perfect for fans of Jennifer Nielsen, Alan Gratz, Ruta Sepetys, Steve Sheinkin, and James Ponti.

Acerca del autor
Patrick D. Joyce writes historical thriller novels that combine mystery and suspense with a powerful sense of place. As the son of a U.S. Foreign Service officer, he grew up in extraordinary places. After early years in Burma (Myanmar), West Germany, and Washington, D.C., he lived in Nicaragua, Cuba, and three times in the Soviet Union. At embassies staffed by diplomats, Marines, and spies, he was surrounded by secrets. In addition to writing books, he has been a newspaper reporter, a political science lecturer, and a medical practice manager. He lives in Massachusetts, where he can be found haunting coffee shops, taking long walks with his wife, and practicing martial arts.
