Ponies

In 1977 Moscow, two “PONIES” ("persons of no interest" in intelligence speak) work‬ anonymously as secretaries in the American Embassy. That is, until their husbands die under‬ mysterious circumstances in the Soviet Union, and they are thrust into the CIA. Bea Grant is‬ sharp, over-educated and fluent in Russian -- a child of Russian immigrants, trying to make‬ sense of a life that hasn't turned out the way she expected. Twila Hasbeck is a small-town ‭firecracker: abrasive, bold and more fearless than she should be. Thrown together by grief and‬ ‭circumstance, the two dig into the vast conspiracy their husbands were killed for.‬
