This is a pretty good thriller set in Italy, Russia and Estonia featuring a famous aid worker and humanitarian kidnapped by Russians. The aid worker is married to an American billionaire who has uncovered a nefarious plot hatched in Moscow to disrupt European democracies. The point of the kidnapping is to make him back off from trying to expose the anti-democratic hijinks. There is, for me, one gaping hole in the plot. The Silicon Valley investor happens to have been a Kurdish Peshmerga commander and experienced fighter in a prior life. Things often do not add up in thrillers, but this is too much to ask of one character. The spouse is freed from the Russians, the plot against Europe foiled and the billionaire safely ensconced back in California.
