Review:
'Layers of violence, deception and moral confusion: the oligarchs, the mafia, the ruthless vulgarity of today's have-it-all Russians... sardonic, sharply paced... a page-turner... in the tradition of John Le Carré and Frederick Forsyth... manipulative sex, the inventively coarse language and brisk changes of scene...' --The Times

His first Tony Underwood novel, A State of Fear, is based on real facts of a little-known dirty-bomb attack on London.
