No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Greed, murder and international diplomatic intrigue all play their part in this gripping political thriller. Two petty Armenian criminals are recruited by the KGB, and given a mission in London. Their task is to block the sale of arms from a crooked British official to the breakaway state of Chechnya, stopping at nothing, including the assassination of the new Chechen Ambassador. When the decomposing bodies of the Ambassador and his brother are discovered by the police, the Armenians are arrested. But when one of them is found murdered in his prison cell, it becomes apparent that there is more to fear than the long arm of the law. Set in 1993, and based on a true story derived from the author's own experience, this is the fictionalised account of the Chelsea Penthouse Murders.
