The 3rd of Gerard de Villiers's novels published by Vintage Canada finds Malko Linge secretly helping the CIA investigate the suspicious death of Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky--a death which may have been ordered by Vladimir Putin himself.
     In March 2013, Boris Berezovsky is found dead in his home in Berkshire, apparently the victim of a suicide by hanging. MI5 commences an investigation--until Prime Minister David Cameron orders them to close the case, hoping to avoid endangering British-Russian business relations. Alarmed at the renewal of Russian Cold War tricks, the CIA dispatches Malko Linge to investigate Berezovksy's death and the British cover-up. Betrayals are the order of the day: Berezovsky has betrayed Putin. The Mossad is suspicious of the CIA. And the head of MI5 disobeys the prime minister's orders to stage a secret meeting with the Americans and reveal the truth about what is going on.

About the Author

GÉRARD DE VILLIERS was the author of the SAS series of spy novels, one of the longest running fiction series ever written by a single author. In a New York Times Magazine article, Robert F. Worth wrote that de Villiers' "mastery of political intrigue has made him France's most widely read author" and labeled him "France's James Bond." De Villiers's connections in the world of espionage allowed him to anticipate real life assassinations before they occurred and unravel complex controversies. Gérard de Villiers died in October 2013.
