A Question of Death cover

An assassination mission takes a hitman into Moscow’s criminal underworld to hunt an ex-KGB operative whose television contestants are murdered on camera in this thriller with dry, dark humour.

Nick Hunter’s latest target shoots contestants who get the answers wrong.

British intelligence wants Gennady Popovich dead. A former KGB operative turned quizmaster, Popovich hosts a game show where a wrong answer can cost a contestant their life. Nick has watched the footage. He’s happy to take the job.

Finding the studio is another matter.

Believing Moscow’s gangsters finance the show, Nick infiltrates the city’s criminal underworld. Getting their attention is easy enough. Earning access to the men behind Popovich means making himself useful to people whose favours come with conditions.

Nick came to Moscow to kill a quizmaster. Now he’s becoming a reluctant participant in the mob’s own brutal entertainment, while the man he’s hunting continues to put contestants in front of the cameras.

  • A hitman with a conscience.
