You're a trained operative done with his past, but can you stand by when innocents are in danger?
Konstantin Boryakov, battered and bruised, is on the run from his previous paymasters - the KGB. He needs somewhere to go to ground. British Intelligence finds that place for him; the remote, seedy English seaside town of Margate where crime and corruption are rife, and trouble is always just around the corner. Everyone, it seems, is on the take. Konstantin might be a terrible man, but he can't turn away when innocents are getting hurt.
Darkly funny and ironic, this mystery crime thriller is perfect for fans of Lee Child, Mark Dawson and David Baldacci. Pick up Russian Roulette now and read the first in a unique thriller series.
'Criminally underrated.'
MW Craven, CWA Gold Dagger winner and author of The Washington Poe series
'Gritty and glorious, dirty and dynamic, fast and furious.'
'I can't wait to start the next book and see what else is on store for Konstantin.'
'Top notch entertainment from Keith Nixon.'
'I adored Konstantin, although I'm not sure I was supposed to!'
'If you liked LA Confidential, you'll love this.'
'I can't recommend this book enough.'
'One hell of a writer.'
Ken Bruen, Author of The Jack Taylor series
'I have to liken reading this novel to being a smoker - it leaves a dirty taste in your mouth but you JUST CAN'T STOP.' Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me, Tell Me No Lies, The Party
'Nixon writes hard-hitting fiction, with a dash of humour, a cast of great characters, and a dollop of violence. Konstantin is a fantastic creation.'
Luca Veste, author of The Murphy and Rossi series and The Bonekeeper
'This is a brilliant book. Violent, yes. Dark, yes. But it has black humour running all the way through it. I loved it and look forward to reading more of his adventures.'
Suze Reviews
'Gritty and glorious, dirty and dynamic, fast and furious. My kind of book.'
Col's Criminal Library
'A superior action-thriller, layered with flashbacks, intriguing characters and tendon-snapping sequences of graphic violence.'
Murder, Mayhem and More
'A fast-paced tale.'
Big Al's Books and Pals
'With his unique style of writing, the author grabs the reader's attention and makes for an entertaining read.'
By The Letter Book Reviews
'Tight, punchy with a distinct voice.'
Crimesquad
'The ability to get his readers onside, rooting for his messed-up characters as they battle against the daily grind of chancers and blaggers is uniquely his, and stands as a testament to his writing chops.'
Crime Fiction Lover
'Lean, mean and gritty, with writing as sharp as a razor cut. Keith Nixon serves up a 'Konstantin Kocktail', with equal parts Vodka to Vodka, that'll hit you just where it's needed.'
Matt Hilton, Author of the Joe Hunter thrillers
