A Killing In Moscow

The cold war is over.

Western businessmen flood Moscow.

The KGB, which once controlled the city with an iron hand, has lost control of Russia’s new criminals.

Colin Joyner is just another Western businessman – but for how much longer? Is he really just a businessman?

Peter Ashton, sent to find whoever is stealing commercial secrets from the British embassy in Moscow, unmasks Elena Adrianova with ease.

But having found her, he has to save her from the men who thought she was just another poor, pretty girl whose loyalty could be bought — and discarded.

Can Ashton get her out of the country or will it already be too late?

Just how many people are involved in this elaborate plot?

With breathtaking amounts of money at stake, a ruthless criminal with his talent for murder honed by the KGB, has decided that Elena must die before she tells Ashton any more.

A Killing in Moscow is a thrilling tale that reveals violence at its worst.
