Kiev, 1992
Deep in the Ukrainian woods, four men load steel cases they were told not to ask about. It's the theft that sets everything in motion — nuclear stakes buried in a lawless country nobody controls anymore.
Thames House, Westminster
Two years on, British intelligence picks up the thread. A quiet office in Millbank becomes the nerve center of an operation that will stretch from Whitehall to the Costa Blanca.
Royal Lytham & Monaco
Golf courses and casino floors — the glamour is real, and so is the danger hiding behind it. Old money, older grudges, and a cast of characters who all want something different from the same deal.

What's inside the book.
Chapters covered
Moss Side & Salford
Not every battlefield is glamorous. Manchester's underworld runs its own economy of loyalty and violence, and it collides head-on with the world of spies and financiers.
The Czarina
A name that belongs to a yacht at the heart of the story—an elegant vessel that carries its passengers into a world of wealth, secrecy, and high-stakes encounters. The Czarina becomes more than a yacht; she is a floating setting where powerful people meet, hidden agendas unfold, and trust can be worth more than money.
Whitehall to Las Vegas
The net tightens across continents. What began as a Cold War loose end becomes a race against time, with betrayals stacking up faster than the body count.
