Declan Lehane heads a taskforce fighting Russian hybrid war. He is frustrated by the realpolitik that prevents him pursuing an oligarch whose criminal reach extends to cybercrime and assassination.
After losing his life savings to Russian hackers Mickey Summer wants compensation. Or revenge. Ideally both. With British authorities dragging their feet Mickey decides he’ll do it his way and dives into the tangled web of Russian state, mafia, and business.
Their investigations overlap in St Petersburg and in the process, they uncover Putin’s darkest secret. But with Putin’s finger on the nuclear button dare they reveal it?

Michael Crawshaw grew up in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. He studied Chemistry at Manchester University and passed up the opportunity of a life exploding chemicals in favour of joining the so-called Big Bang.
He worked for several of the world’s leading investment banks and became an award-winning Head of Research. Supervising analysts covering a range of industries and countries he acquired expertise in global money flows, politics and business, and an ability to quickly understand new subjects. When he left finance, he found these skills ideally suited to writing fact-based fiction.
His first novel To Make a Killing was published in 2012 and his second, Cyber Wars – The Black Chamber, in 2019. Both feature the indomitable joker Mickey Summer whose big mouth means nothing he takes on is more than he can chew. Mickey returns in the final part of the trilogy, The Gerasimov Doctrine.
