Can I leave this to be inserted by the editor/ production staff please? Possibly? Mikhail had deliberately decided to appear to languish in Volgograd for a week. Appear to, being the operative intention. If he was being tailed he was sure he would detect them well within the week? There had been moments. One evening at a popular restaurant in the middle of a vegetarian Borscht dish with vegan piroshkis he thought that he had detected a tail. A somewhat sinister looking swarthy gent who entered the restaurant not long after Mikhail and who had claimed a table against the wall opposite. The gent didn't look at all happy? Mikhail calmly continued to sip tea and read from his neatly folded edition of Pravda. After decades of reading this august newspaper, he knew what was fact and what was fiction. It usually took him less than ten minutes to read the former.

About the Book
Colonel Anton Konstantin Alekseev, an ageing SVR Officer of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service wants a new life. A life on the other side of the world. A life in which he will be able to dwell in peace and harmony with those he loves and those he has now come to love. But first he must overcome many hurdles, not the least of which is his ally, a Venezuelan assassin and the machinations of a shadowy cabal known as the 5th Directorate deep in his own Intelligence Service. Former NZ Army Infantry Captain Bill Jolly, no early adopter of new technology, becomes an unwitting but compliant instrument in The Major's search for answers as to whom may be crossing New Zealand's borders and in the process Bill meets his match, the very lovely Natalie.
