"A great page turner - I couldn't see how it was going to end until the very last page."Would you kill in order to win?The Games reach their climax--for some it's a way to stay in power, for others it's just one more thing to be destroyed.With the Russian Presidential vote just a year away, the challengers need to make their move. The world will soon know who they are, as will Putin--secrecy can only hide them for a little while longer.An international lender calls in a huge bailout loan, destroying an entire Banking Union in the process. A man is gunned down in the streets of St Petersburg, his crime being he spoke to the wrong people. And a high ranking government official is murdered on the streets of London. Random? Isolated? Or an oligarch's move for power?All the while MI6 and an FSB insider gather more evidence, following hot on their heels and waiting to strike. Yet, they are up against their greatest challenge so far.From the Best Selling author of six novels, including The Tablet, comes the explosive and far-reaching third book in The Hunt series--his most anticipated collection to date!Love for this book and the series so far:"Intrigue and peril on a grand scale.""An exceptional and intriguing book, with strong character development. And yes the character list at the back is most helpful for an oldster like me who has some difficulty in remembering "Bill from Bob". Look forward to reading more of Tim's books.""Tim Heath has another winner! Although the book has a lot of characters to keep track of, particularly in the beginning, you can still follow the action. It takes place in Russia so there are a lot of Russian names that are a bit difficult for our American tongue but you do get use to them. By the end of the book you have no problem remembering who is who. It is action packed and you want to keep reading to find out what happens. A very enjoyable read. Can't wait for the next one.""WOW! A mind trapping story that you can't get enough! It is so good as the first one and I can't wait for the next one!""This is the first book I've read in a while that I actually had to concentrate on - lot's of characters, so I didn't want to mix them up, lot's of them had Russian names too which made it slightly harder to retain them for me. But so worth it! It's a fantastic book - the construction of both plot and characters is fabulous. It's one that I didn't want to put down - a fantastic thriller!"
