February, 1981.The talking heads on the television know best.The political landscape in Europe is tense, but manageable. Russian aggression can be contained by patience, or at most by a few targeted sanctions.Terrorism is a legitimate tactic of rebellion, and occurs spontaneously to resist Western influence. Change the channel; it’s all the same.We know what’s happening, the heads say.You’re just chasing shadows. Operation Edom chases those shadows, and many others. Working in the half world between spying and the supernatural, they encounter wolves in many forms. Not all wolves, says the fairy tale, show their fur on the outside.
