This title offers page-turning action with female sleuth Captain Jay McCaulay. When Jay McCauley wakes drugged in a strange hotel room, she knows things can only get worse. She isn't in the UK. She's in Moscow, and she has no idea how she got there. Memory shot to pieces, Jay returns home to find her beloved uncle Duncan missing. Apparently, she'd been searching for Duncan when she was kidnapped, and when Nikolai, an old friend of Duncan's, turns up asking questions, alarm bells start ringing. Nikolai Koslov is one of the UK's resident Russian oligarchs. Soon Jay uncovers a web of lies and betrayals that stretch from Newbury Racecourse to Siberia. But as the body count rises, it's clear that Jay's biggest threat may be Duncan himself - an honourable family man who seems determined to destroy himself.
Caroline Carver is half-English, half-New Zealander. She is the author of several previous thrillers including Blood Junction, Dead Heat, Black Tide, Beneath the Snow and Gone Without Trace.
