About this title

Review:

British intelligence agent Charlie Muffin might have a silly name, but don't be fooled--he's one smart, tough cookie. Sent to Moscow to advise the government on the theft of nuclear material, he finds a combination of organized crime and bureaucratic stupidity that adds up to lethal anarchy. Heading the Russian anti- corruption unit is the mother of Muffin's 5-year-old daughter, which complicates his life when he goes undercover as an arms buyer and tries to stop the delivery of 250 kilos of plutonium to the Iraqis. Freemantle's last Muffin is No Time for Heroes.
