IN the new Cold War being launched by Russian leader Alexander Putin, a former protégé of the head of MI6 is assassinated and his widow, a former KGB colonel, becomes a most wanted person.
In one way an oldfashioned spy thriller, but in another a contemporary lesson that evil never goes away, that politics will always have a dark and bloody side and that killers and traitors will always be in demand. As lethal as they come.
