Review
'An entertaining yarn with plenty of suspense...Martin Shaw brings pace and colour to his reading of the novel.'
--Daily Echo

Review
`A tense story of triumph and tragedy, memorably read by Martin Shaw'

Synopsis
Feliks came to London to commit a murder that would change history. He had many weapons at his command, but his most dangerous were the love of a innocent woman, and the passion of a lady demanding satisfaction. Against him were ranged the English police, a lord, and Winston Churchill himself.

Customer Reviews

Same old Follett
I may be guilty of pedantry here but the Russian in question is an anarchist and not a communist. That said Ken Follett is at his best, taking a historical event and giving it a ficticious twist, and yes, as with his other novels, you do tend to want the bad guy to win.

If you're a first time Follet reader I would recommend 'Eye of the Needle', 'Pillars of the Earth' and 'Code to Zero' over this one, but if you've read those then this one will not let you down. Well, not by much.

One of Follets' best
Another great book from Ken follet. Out of all his books I would rank this one behind Pillars of the Earth (best book of all time by far)and Eye of the Needle. Extremely plausible novel, very realistic characters, and you simply can't put it down. Finished it in under 2 days

You can't put it down
This is a really good book about a Russian Communist. I really enjoyed this book as the characters were so real. You didn't want Felix the Communist to get caught, you actually wanted the bad guy to win. If you want to read a good book then get this!
