With his legendary suspense and clear-ringing authenticity, Clive Egleton delivers an unputdownable thriller featuring British agent Peter Ashton, who made his winning debut in Hostile Intent. The cold war is over, businessmen and women from the West throng Moscow, and even the KGB, which once knew all there was to know about life in Russia, has lost control of the criminals who now prey on them. Ashton goes to Moscow to uncover a new kind of mole, one who steals commercial secrets. And he finds her - only to realize that unless he puts himself at extreme risk, she will die. Breaking all the rules, he sets out to rescue her and her family and take them to safety in England. What he does not know is how important Elena Andrianova's death is to the renegades who were using her. Breathtaking amounts of money are at stake, and at the center of the conspiracy is a ruthless killer, his talent for the profession honed by the once-powerful KGB. He is determined to kill Elena, and then he will deal with Peter Ashton. Fast-moving, intricate, and utterly compelling, A Killing in Moscow proves Clive Egleton to be the master of the action thriller.
