About this audiobook
In this gripping, tightly plotted tale of espionage, Malko Linge investigates the suspicious death of a Russian oligarch in London.
Boris Berezovsky is living in exile in London to avoid the wrath of Vladimir Putin. One morning, the unlucky oligarch is found dead in his bathroom, an apparent suicide.
Their suspicions aroused, MI5 opens an investigation-but Prime Minister David Cameron orders the case closed. Alarmed at the renewal of Russian Cold War tricks and Moscow's increasingly close ties to London, the CIA dispatches Malko Linge to investigate Berezovsky's death and the British cover-up. With help from an alluring former CIA handler, Malko dives into the search for hard evidence of the Kremlin's involvement in the affair-putting himself directly in the crosshairs of the world's most efficient assassins.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Revenge of the Kremlin by Gérard de Villiers is a tightly woven story of suspense and espionage surrounding the suspicious death of exiled oligarch Boris Berezovsky. MI-5 opens the case after it is believed Berezovsky’s death was not a suicide, however no sooner does MI-5 begin poking around when PM Cameron shuts down the official investigation, an act which alarms the CIA, as the fear of old KGB tactics and the new and closer ties between Britain and Russia are formed. The CIA sends Malko Linge to investigate not only Berezovsky’s death but also the alleged cover-up to his death and to search for any involvement the Kremlin may have had in the entire affair. Gérard de Villiers has crafted a taught and action packed book filled with espionage, distrust, assassins, government official and agencies including; Putin, PM Cameron, Mossad, the CIA, MI-5, and the American government, no one is free from scrutiny. Revenge of the Kremlin immediately draws the reader into the ever evolving and twisting plot of murder, mystery, intrigue, agencies distrusting other agencies, countries distrusting each other, and loyalties being tested. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and admit I literally read it from cover to cover. I highly recommend Gérard de Villiers’ Revenge of the Kremlin to all who enjoy books about espionage and suspense and look forward to reading more translated works by this masterful French author.
