Publisher's Summary

Set in contemporary, recession gripped Britain, a left-leaning young Oxford academic and his barrister girlfriend take 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.

narrator was good

Struggled to finish. Some great descriptions but took forever to actually get to the story, which was somewhat lacklustre and predictable.
Narration was good but probably the only thing I'd recommend

Bounced all over the place too much for me.

I struggled to stay with the story on this book. Great detail, poor linkage in the story for me.
