Between 1984 and 1998 Adrian Churchward lived and worked in Moscow, Budapest and Prague as an East-West trade lawyer, representing British, American and German corporations. During this period he became proficient in translating Russian commercial and legal texts into English. He was one of the few Western lawyers working in the day-to-day arena of President Gorbachev's liberalisation process of perestroika and glasnost, and which ultimately resulted in the collapse of communism and disintegration of the Soviet Union. In 1991, he witnessed the abortive coup against Gorbachev and in 1993, he was again present in Moscow when Yeltsin ordered the shelling of the Russian parliament building, aka the "The Russian White House". He lives in London, has two daughters, three grandsons and a cat that eats furniture. Read more about Adrian at www.adrianchurchward.com.
Found this fortuitously while browsing for an interesting thriller on Amazon. This plays out like a John Le Carré spy thriller with lots of action and interesting characters across different countries and settings.
It’s got a myriad of interesting characters and people and all of the plot threads tie up nicely. Scott Mitchell is a really interesting character but don’t expect Jack Reacher or James Bond, this guy is a fast talking thinker that fights with his briefcase. It’s great.
Wow! I have been waiting for number 3 for some time. It didn’t disappoint....good to see all the old characters again and so many twists and turns. And as for the cliffhanger at the end!! When is book 4 out please!!
