About this ebook

The explosive, untold story of how Russia mastered the art and science of targeted assassination ‘A real life thriller, packed with characters that even John le Carré couldn't dream of. If this doesn't scare you, then you're not paying attention.’ Oliver Bullough

‘Brilliantly and bravely researched, this book lays bare the brutal and murderous truth’ Jon Snow of Channel 4 News

‘A spellbinding and heart-in-your-throat true story of Russian money and serial killing ... In addition to being an unputdownable story, her shocking exposé will hopefully change the way the British authorities act ’ Bill Browder, author of Red Notice

‘Gripping ... When Putin opponents start dropping dead from poisonings, suspicious accidents and surprise heart attacks,the chronology is as damning as it is alarming’ New York Times

Exposing one of the most terrifying stories of our time, Heidi Blake investigates a string of suspicious deaths on British and American soil to build a shocking picture.

Russia systematically assassinates those who dare to flee its grasp – as well as the British citizens who get in the way. Meanwhile, the British authorities turn a blind eye, every investigation curtailed in favour of courting the Kremlin.

Based on the revelatory discovery of over a dozen ignored murders, this is a chilling, page-turning read.

A gripping read, all facts reported can be checked. Makes me angry the UK was so slow to recognise the threat that Putin was. Who else can get access to radioactive material? Not like you can pop into Asda & get it! Even an idiot can work it out.But then the government does nothing, after all a nuclear attack on a UK citizens happens every day!! Im so sorry for Sasha his wife & son, they all deserved better from this country & we let them down. This just made Putin invincible in his mind, he'd got away with a nucear attack & so there was nothing he couldnt do. Now, we have the results of that lack of action, a man mad with power who doesnt care how many bodies he walks over nor where they come from, the only things he understands are; if he cant have it he'll destroy it, if anyone speaks out he' ll silence them. I feel sorry for Russians, never to know what freedom is and little likelihood of it in the future. Good book for all the wrong things done to people by a man crazed by power.
