About This Item
London: Viking (Penguin Books), 2010. 1st. hardback. Near fine, 1st edition, with unclipped d/j (v.g.); text block firm, unmarked pages clean, one page dogeared and slight forward lean.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Britain is in the depths of recession. A left-leaning young Oxford academic and his barrister girlfriend take an off-peak holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua. By seeming chance they bump into a Russian millionaire called Dima who owns a peninsula and a diamond-encrusted gold watch. He also has a tattoo on his right thumb, and wants a game of tennis. What else he wants propels the young lovers on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps, to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britain's Intelligence Establishment.
