From Single & Single's 'tour de force opening", le Carrie masterfully establishes a sequence of events whose connections are mysterious, complex and compelling. He fashions a story of corrupt liaisons between criminal syndicates in the new Russian states and the legitimate world of Western finance. He also intimately portrays two families: one Russian, the other English; one trading illicit goods, the other laundering the profits; one betrayed by a son in law the other betrayed and redeemed by a son. An enthralling, multilayered tale by an author at the height of his creative powers.
