About this listen

A diplomat’s murder reunites Cowley and Danilov in a global search for the killer

There’s nothing surprising about the body. The wounds are precise, their meaning clear. The Washington, DC, cops have seen enough like them to know that they mean a mob hit. And when mobsters kill their own, there’s not much the police can do about it. They’re prepared to dismiss the case when someone looks at the dead man’s ID. He was Russian - and a diplomat.

William Cowley, the head of the FBI’s Russian office, takes on the case. A year earlier he had solved a strange killing with the help of Dimitri Danilov, a Russian cop with a sense of honor rare in the lawless, post-Communist world. Now they rejoin forces, embarking on an around-the-world search for the meaning of the diplomat’s death.

Second book about the Russian detective. Blends well with the first story. I was keen to find time to listen to the audio.

Enjoyed.

I enjoyed it but needed to pay attention to the russian names, the narrator did a good job with the accents.

Well paced story

So many different people made the initial following difficult and the reading needed gaps between obvious places where the narration moved from one part of the story to another. This may have been editing or reading but either way, not easy to follow.

Complicated storyline with a few twists.

Might have been a good story but was spoilt by awful attempt at Russians accents and poor narration generally. Gave up trying to follow the story after about 2 hours, shame really.

Spoilt by Narrator

Overall, this was well written, with clever mind games and out manoeuvring between the various parties. However, it was far too long and drawn out for me! It was difficult keeping track of the numerous characters involved, especially those with Russian names. It nicely highlights the corruption and hypocrisy which is rife amongst Russian governmental departments even to our day.

Has a good plot, well written, but rather long and drawn out!

Overcomplicated plot with too little action ..

Enjoyed listening to it. Good story but complicated so i had to concentrate on the names of the individuals. Which made a change.

Fremantle has shown in this novel that he is reliant on Charlie Muffin. a great tale of corruption all the way to the top. Enough twists and turns to keep listeners entertained A good continuance of identifiable characters ensures the listener knows their backstop.

a tale of Western views of Russia today.

Well written plot overall but I stopped paying attention to all the characters names and just tried to enjoy the narration...

Too long!

This is Book 2 (Book 1: In the Name of a Killer). Another intense adventure playing in their bailiwicks for these physically unattractive MCs. More brains than brawn, more front that Brighton. But for such clever men, they make their personal lives into a quagmire.

Enjoy this long and well narrated in depth tale of the scrapes these MCs find themselves in this time round. Is there a book 3 of this series?

SO ENJOYABLE
