‘A real life thriller, filled with people that also John le Carré couldn’t dream of. If this won’t scare you, then you’re not attending to.’ Oliver Bullough

They thought that they had found a safe haven in the green hills of England. These were wrong. One by one, the Russian oligarchs, dissidents, and gangsters who fled to Britain after Vladimir Putin came to power about From Russia with Bloodstream: Putin’s Ruthless Getting rid of Campaign and Secret War over the Western dropped deceased in strange or suspicious circumstances. One at a time, their British attorneys and fixers met similarly grisly ends. However, one at a time, the British authorities shut down every investigation-and carried on courting the Kremlin.

In From Russia With Bloodstream, multi-award-winning investigative journalist Heidi Blake unflinchingly docs the growing internet of Russian-linked fatalities on Uk and American soil, tracking the males who lived and died in the Kremlin’s crosshairs from London’s high-end dance clubs to Miami’s million-dollar hideouts, and carrying out a path of increasingly savage attacks onto the roads of Salisbury, where the Russian increase agent Sergei Skripal was poisoned having a deadly nerve agent in 2018.

Working with bags of crime scene evidence, hundreds of thousands of pages of exclusive documents, surveillance video footage, classified cleverness briefings, forensically restored phones and computers, and a huge selection of insider interviews, Blake bravely exposes how Russia’s eliminating campaign meets into Putin’s pursuit of global dominance – and just why Western governments have failed over and over to stop the bloodshed.

This heart-stopping international investigation – written with the page-turning pace and chilling narrative of the thriller – reveals perhaps one of the most important and terrifying stories of our time.
