An English couple, Perry and Gail, are taking an off-peak holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua. By seeming chance they bump into a Russian millionaire called Dima who owns a peninsula and a diamond-encrusted gold watch. He also has a tattoo on his right thumb, and wants a game of tennis.

What else he wants propels the young lovers on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps, to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britain’s Intelligence Establishment.

Dodworth Readers Group

This book provoked some interesting discussion points but many felt let down by the abrupt ending.
The tension that had been well built during the narrative and the development of the characters' was enjoyed by all readers and we all wanted a better resolution.
