Tom Fox Trilogy

*Longlisted for the 2017 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger for best thriller*

''Even better than Child 44'' Daily Telegraph

''Given that the definitive thriller in 1980''s Moscow already exists (Gorky Park), Moskva looks like a crazy gamble. But it''s one that comes off'' Sunday Times

''A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma . . .''

January, 1986. A week after disgraced Intelligence Officer Tom Fox is stationed to Moscow the British Ambassador''s fifteen-year-old daughter goes missing. Fox is ordered to find her, and fast. But the last thing the Soviets want is a foreign agent snooping about on their turf. Not when a killer they can''t even acknowledge let alone catch is preparing to kill again . . .

A Cold War thriller haunted by an evil legacy from the Second World War, Moskva is a journey into the dark heart of another time and place.
