About this listen
Randall Drew is prevented from carrying on with his career in steeplechasing by poor eyesight. Restless and unsure of his future but pursuing an ardent love affair, he does not welcome an invitation to go to Moscow on a delicate investigation, but irresistible pressure is hard to refuse.
A mysterious entity, "Alyosha", is threatening a royally-connected candidate for the Moscow Olympic Games; the candidate may be vulnerable to scandal which could set off intolerable diplomatic conflicts.
The brief is vague, the opposition invisible. And the stakes appallingly high.

Of its time
Set during Cold War so needs some suspension of belief - but a great plot as always.

You have to wait for the end
As a huge fan of Dick Francis and Tony Britton, I found this one difficult to get into. It makes sense at the end, but you have to keep hanging on in there.

Great.
I really enjoyed this book on two counts - the storyline was interesting, as was, that it was mainly set in Moscow in 1978. The narration was very good.
