Paperback. Max Rushmore is re-hired by the CIA to return to Moscow and investigate the death of a beautiful nuclear waste disposal expert. But Max, who can drink even the Russians under the table, soon uncovers all sorts of inconsistencies: could it even be that she is not dead at all? So begins a game of cat-and-mouse that takes Max across Russia, from St Petersburg to Novosibirsk, as he follows his only clue: a rare Siberian diamond. With all the breathless tension of classic espionage novels, 'Moscow at Midnight' is both humerous and utterly enthralling - in every sense, a fast-paced pageturner of the old school. Num Pages: 288 pages. BIC Classification: FA. .
