Synopsis

Former Green Beret, Ben Lewis has a job to do - protecting London-based Ukrainian oligarch Arkady Nemikov and his family from his many enemies. Especially jealous Russians who, because of Western sanctions, are unable to participate in the kind of lucrative gas pipeline deals available to Nemikov.Life-long adversary, Viktor Plushenko, is particularly enraged by Nemikov and sends former Russian agent - now killer for hire - Oleg Panich to neutralise Nemikov and his family. Ordered to avoid any repercussions against the Kremlin, Panich conceives of a plan to make the demise of Nemikov and his family look as if it is part of a co-ordinated campaign of terrorism against the West.Lewis has history with Panich, having previously left the Russian agent for dead in the Swiss Alps. Panich, hungry for revenge against the former marine, recruits a small army, quietly supported by Moscow. With Nemikov's children eventually captured and held hostage in a London tube station, Nemikov's final act of retribution will be to set off a dirty bomb beneath the streets of London. Working hand in hand with police Detective Inspector Saul Zeltinger, is there enough time for Lewis to find Nemikov's children and thwart Panich's plans? Or will Panich's final act of revenge succeed in killing Lewis and wreaking devastation beneath the streets of London?

About this title

About the Author

David N Robinson has flown the equivalent of eight round trips to the moon during his travels with a large international professional firm, a private equity business and latterly one of the world’s largest law firms. A graduate metallurgist from Cambridge, he has lived and worked both in London and Cambridge for most of his life, two locations that have, in particular, been a source of inspiration for The Gambit, his latest Ben Lewis thriller. David’s fascination with, and professional interest in, cyber crime and identity theft led him to write his first thriller, The Morpheus Network. His detailed knowledge of many overseas locations, both in Europe, the Middle East and Russia, provided an important backdrop to his second thriller, The Dossier – the first book featuring Ben Lewis. David currently lives with his wife of 30 years and divides his time between his home, near Cambridge and the Alps, where he both skis in winter and walks in the summer. He is currently trustee and Chairman of Addenbrooke’s Hospital’s Charitable Trust.
