Back in the USSR

Jump into an adventure like no other with Harrison, the daydreaming son of American diplomats, and Prudence, the fearless daughter of foreign correspondents, as they embark on a thrilling mission to find a lost Beatles record in Cold War Moscow.

Pursued by spies and gangsters, Harrison and Prudence must rely on their wits and courage to navigate the dark underworld of a communist state. As they race to find a priceless relic and symbol of freedom in a place where rock is banned, they will risk everything - and discover a web of secrets that leads to the most dangerous game of all.

Chock full of suspense and propelled by a grand tale of unrequited love, Back in the USSR will keep you on the edge of your seat right up to the emotional, uplifting ending.
