A Summer Revenge

'Storytelling of the highest quality . . . Callaghan is a new voice to be welcomed' Daily Mail

'Even better than Child 44. Akyl Borubaev is a terrific creation' Anthony Horowitz

In the burning heat of the sun, murder is deadly cold.

Having resigned from Bishkek Murder Squad, Akyl Borubaev is a lone wolf with blood on his hands. Then the Minister of State Security promises Akyl his old life back . . . if Akyl finds his vanished mistress. The beautiful Natasha Sulonbekova has disappeared in Dubai with information that could destroy the Minister's career.

But when Borubaev arrives in Dubai - straight into a scene of horrific carnage - he learns that what Natasha is carrying is worth far more than a damaged reputation. Discovering the truth plunges him into a deadly game that means he might never return to Kyrgyzstan . . . at least, not alive.
