Red star rising
(Book)

"The body of a murdered, tortured Russian has been found in Moscow, which isn't unusual in the crime-ridden city. What is different is that this corpse is on the lawn of the British embassy. Eager to prevent an international incident, London dispatches veteran MI5 agent Charlie Muffin to investigate. Charlie is an old hand who recognizes that little has changed in the post-Solviet Union, most definitely not the espionage enmity among Russia, Britain, and America. The search for the identity of the murdered man enmeshes Charlie in wht might be the biggest attempted espionage coup of his career" --Cover, p. 2.
