MI6 spies, Russian FSB, Chechen terrorists, Abkhaz Separatists, the 1992 Georgian war. This breathtaking and brutal novel is a gripping tale set in the magnificent Caucasus Mountains during Georgia's ill-fated invasion of Abkhazia in 1992.

And what about the mysterious Sergei, a former British agent, who seems to have disappeared?How will Mac cope with the Chechen terrorist who has vowed to kill him? 'You are a dead man, English. We know who you are. You are spying on our people. Now you die.'The result is an intense action-packed thriller full of danger, death, and fear but a story full of quiet humour and surprising twists and turns.
