Overview

Exposing one of the most terrifying stories of our time, Heidi Blake investigates a string of suspicious deaths on British and American soil to build a shocking picture. Russia systematically assassinates those who dare to flee its grasp – as well as the British citizens who get in the way. Meanwhile, the British authorities turn a blind eye, every investigation curtailed in favour of courting the Kremlin.

Based on the revelatory discovery of over a dozen ignored murders, this is a chilling, page-turning read.
