The Englishman

The Englishman by David Gilman. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781838931391.

A clandestine war on the desert border of Mali and Algeria. Murder and kidnap on the suburban streets of West London. A Moscow CID police inspector investigating the assassination of four of her fellow officers by the Russian Mafia. A young MI6 officer facing the possibility that a long-running operation has been fatally compromised. Connecting them all is the Dan Raglan, outsider, exile, one-time member of the French Foreign Legion, fully trained killer. Raglans quest for answers will become a quest for vengeance. It will lead him to the winter-ravaged wasteland of the Sverdlovskaya Oblast and Penal Colony #74, a place that holds Russias most brutal murderers. A place of death and retribution. How will he get in? More importantly, how will he get out?
