Spies, Lies and Lullabies by Dermid Strain

Set in the volatile aftermath of the Cold War in 1993, this legal thriller plunges into a world where the collapse of the Iron Curtain leaves desperate and dangerous KGB and Stasi agents adrift, holding secrets worth killing for. MI6 veteran Charlie deploys four newly trained operatives—Muir, Quentin, James, and Travis—to Moscow, Berlin, and Tallinn on a critical mission to locate and secure these former agents.

The operation quickly becomes complicated as a ruthless figure known as Vodyanoy hunts the same targets, eliminating the weak and building a new, deadlier Russia from the chaos. Four rookies find themselves standing directly in the path of this unstoppable force.
