When two cheats and frauds fall out, one Russian the other Greek, then those around them should take care. Stay with it, someone will lose and lose badly.

"A taut thriller about a money-laundering Russian oligarch, invites favourable comparison to the work of John le Carré."

"… set in a chilling contemporary world in which spies have gone private and corporations are more powerful than governments. A remarkably assured debut."

"…his narrative moves forward with an aura of malevolence to a conclusion too close to reality to be anything but believable."

"An absolutely terrific novel…beautifully written, clean and terse, but you won’t notice, because you’ll be reading just as fast as you can."

"Brimful of insider knowledge, this debut novel heads into the world of corrupt Russian business dealings…an elegant, tense thriller."

"A British investigator with a private intelligence agency and the key manipulator of a corrupt oligarch’s finances are vigorously portrayed, with satisfying twists and intrigues."
