In Silenced Voices, suspended counterintelligence investigator Helena Markiewicz is dragged back into Warsaw’s post-Soviet ministries when a sensitive folder tied to her failed Glass Reed operation turns up through a compromised Baltic-X relay and a key asset is arrested in public, fracturing her team. Still carrying a tarnished reputation, Helena has to work from inside the same bureaucracy that ruined her, with only interrogation, elicitation, and a hot-dust printer for company.

Using counterintelligence tradecraft, she must trace the mole in her own network before a cabinet meeting in less than seventy-two hours turns the Transit Annex into permanent exposure. The trail runs through flawed encrypted email, internal logs, and a Powiśle dead drop, while a politically protected informant with elite connections keeps doubts sliding toward Helena instead of the real breach.

Helena’s doctrine—never jeopardize a colleague’s reputation without proof—becomes a trap, because every careful delay gives the disinformation more room to spread and every accusation risks her cover as a respected operative with a public scandal. When the mole offers inside information for protection, Helena must decide how much of the agency’s face she can burn to keep Warsaw’s transition records from disappearing.
