Books like Robert Ludlum's The arctic event by James H. Cobb
When a remote Arctic island yields the wreckage of a lost Soviet strategic bomber that vanished in 1943 with two metric‑tons of weaponized anthrax, the United States faces a diplomatic crisis. To avert global fallout, President Johnson commissions the top‑secret Covert‑One unit, led by Lt. Col. Jon Smith, to investigate. But the island has already attracted an international arms dealer and his mercenary crew, while the Russians are determined to keep a second, even more dangerous secret hidden beneath the damaged aircraft. Trapped in a polar wilderness, Smith and his team must confront the overt threat of hostile mercenaries and the subtle danger of betrayal within their own ranks.
