About this series
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. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Brian Freemantle including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
No Time for Heroes is the second book in the Cowley and Danilov Thrillers, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

- In the Name of a Killer
At the end of the Cold War, a brutal murder in a Moscow alley forces two rival agents together in a mission to catch a serial killer—before it’s too late Moscow is a bad place for an American to walk alone, particularly a woman as beautiful as Ann Harris. An economist in the American embassy, she thinks she knows the town. She thinks she is safe. She’s wrong. Colonel Dimitri Danilov is irritated that Harris had to die on his watch. The peculiarities of the murder promise an interesting case, but American involvement will make everything needlessly complicated. Gumming up the works is William Cowley, the head of the FBI Russian desk, whose job is to keep men like Danilov from sweeping the murders of Americans under the rug. But as a serial killer terrorizes Moscow, the two must work together to thwart not only the killer, but also the corrupt city that protects him. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Brian Freemantle including rare photos from the author’s personal collection. In the Name of a Killer is the first book in the Cowley and Danilov Thrillers, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
