The End Game is a story about family, international intrigue and espionage.While taking care of his wife, during her struggle with breast cancer, Adam Stepowski investigates money transfers from an American manufacturer to numbered Zurich bank accounts of phantom Soviet, Russian and Polish companies, and tries to expose the faces behind them. When his family is threatened, the investigative lawyer realizes that he must have come close to some secret knowledge, and is forced into a dangerous game against shadowy opponents at home in the US, across Europe, in Russia, and in Kazakhstan. Stepowski uncovers a clandestine network planning a terror attack which, if not stopped, would lead to a global madness. To prevent it, Adam allies with unexpected partners.

When a Vice President of a large equipment manufacturer in northern Virginia is found strangled in his house, and his eight-year-old son is missing, the police arrest his Russian ex-wife. Adam Stepowski, an investigative lawyer, takes up the defense of the accused. The seemingly routine murder develops into a case of post Cold-War era industrial and military espionage. Adam's transatlantic investigation branches out to include an alleged Nazi criminal, now living in Texas, who during World War II had been a guard in a forced-labor camp in Poland. Searching for the missing pieces to the homicide, the espionage, and the Nazi criminal puzzles, Adam relives his turbulent life as a Jewish emigrant from the communist Poland of the Sixties.
