✦ Synopsis

"A happy partner to the work of Deighton, Archer, and le Carre... carried on craftily understated prose that approaches cold poetry... a first-class novel." (Booklist , starred review)

Racing between London and Moscow, Kazakhstan and the Caymans, The Silent Oligarch reveals a sinister unexplored world where the wealthy buy the justice they want--and the silence they need. The first novel by Chris Morgan Jones--after his eleven years of work at the world's largest business intelligence agency--The Silent Oligarch introduces Benjamin Webster, mercenary spy to the rich and powerful. Hired to destroy a Russian oil baron, Webster discovers that his target's weak spot is a diffident English lawyer who hides the money generated from his master's vast criminal empire. Soon Webster's questions cause the lawyer's fragile world to crumble, forcing them both into a desperate race around the world to escape the oligarch's vengeance.
