Everyone, it seems, is on the take. Konstantin might be a terrible man, but he can't turn away when innocents are getting hurt. Darkly funny and ironic, this crime thriller is perfect for fans of Lee Child, Mark Dawson and David Baldacci. Pick up Russian Roulette now and read the first in a unique thriller series.
