Red Herring
A bomb is planted by a Russian ex-Spetsnaz, Igor Jakinsky, who is arrested, but refuses to reveal the location. The device will explode in an hour in Preston.
Detective Sergeant Draker - an unconventional but effective officer - is called in to deal with the case, whilst key personnel travel up from London.
Jakinsky entered the UK as a fruit picker. Assessed by MI5 previously, he was photographed in a compromising position with another picker, Olga Solokov.
The photographs are used as leverage against the Russian and he reveals the location of the device. But the clock is ticking.
Sokolov is apprehended, as a further call warns of a second bomb. Draker, a skilled interrogator, plays the conspirators off against each other, and uncovers a plot involving the Russian intelligence service and ISIS.
Things are not what they seem as the UK security services - and NATO - could now be compromised.

I loved this book, it took a great series with D.S. Draker and added some Russian spies into the equation, some annoying British spooks, and plenty of twists and turns. I will be taking a slight break from my kindle books to focus on catching up on some paperbacks but can't wait to get back on to see what else Roger has to offer. Thank you Roger and keep up the great work
