Palgamõrvar Victor saabub Bukaresti, et kõrvaldada kaks sihtmärki, kes kohtudes plaanivad vahetada varastatud luureandmeid - teavet, mida Victori klient tahab tagasi saada. Ülesanne peaks olema lihtne... Seda kuni hetkeni, mil Victor mõistab, et üheks sihtmärgiks on tema kunagine liitlane. Isegi väärdunud moraaliga palgamõrvar ei ole valmis tapma inimest, kellele võlgneb elu. Kompenseerimaks töö tegemata jätmist, nõustub Victor võtma vastu üliohtliku ülesande, mida ta tavaolukorras väldiks: rahvusvaheliste suhete konverentsil peab ta tuvastama ja mõrvama omasuguse palgamõrvari, jäädes ise spioonidest ja julgeolekuekspertidest koosnevas auditooriumis märkamatuks.

From the best-selling author of Ruxton: The First Modern Murder comes The Bombing of Edinburgh & Leith, a captivating account of the almost forgotten German bombing raids on Edinburgh during World War 2. Featuring recently discovered photographs and original reports, the book documents the experiences of the ordinary population of Edinburgh and their extraordinary resilience. Moving chronologically, Tom Wood combines tragedy and farce in his detailed yet succinct descriptions of the fifteen raids faced by the city between 1939 and 1942. Historical records of Edinburgh’s defence tactics are interspersed with fascinating individual narratives of both victims and survivors, adding humanity to meticulously researched wartime events. As we approach the 80th anniversary of the end of World War 2, evidence of the bombings remains visible around Edinburgh if you know where to look. However, the generation who endured these years is largely gone, whilst those who lost their lives have not been commemorated. This book remembers them all, celebrates their strength, and offers a true insight into the dark days of 1940. All net proceeds from this book shall be donated to the Edinburgh, Lothian and Borders Police Historical Society.

From the author of best seller, Ruxton: The First Modern Murder, comes another deep dive into one of the most notorious cases in Scottish Criminal History. Tom Wood’s The World’s End Murders: The Inside Story is a new look at a well-known story. In this book, Wood offers the detailed analysis only one of the original investigators could give, and reveals how over nearly four decades, detectives and scientists struggled to deliver justice. The horrific killing of two Edinburgh teenagers in October 1977 sparked a nationwide manhunt that turned into one of Britain’s longest and most famous murder investigations. The book tells the story of two innocent young girls, Helen Scott and Christine Eadie, and of the extraordinary police investigation over almost four decades that eventually led to the discovery of links to their deaths with Angus Sinclair, one of Scotland’s most notorious murderers and sex offenders. Acquitted after a controversial trial in 2007, changes in the law and new, cutting-edge forensic evidence meant that Sinclair found himself in the court again, and in 2014 he was finally held to account for the notorious World’s End murders. But this is not a gruesome tale of violent death – the families of Helen and Christine have suffered long enough. It is a story of heroes – of the families of the two girls who, with quiet dignity, have carried an unimaginable burden down the years, and of the police officers, the support staff and the scientists who persisted in their investigations and never gave up. This is the inside story of the World’s End murders.”
