What if the U.S. Congress considered legalizing drugs? A prominent surgeon, DR. TONY RYAN, finds himself at the helm of the country's first experimental drug distribution program, which has been set up in Santa Barbara. Two months into its uneventful operation, Ryan returns from a brief holiday to find not only the program suddenly on the brink of disaster, but himself perilously pitched into a high-stakes life-threatening attack. On one hand, Substance of Abuse is a "Crichtonesque beach-reader" novel -- an intriguing adventure from Santa Barbara to Rome. And, on the other hand, it has an original high-concept premise whose highly charged controversial nature will surely leave the reader much to think about long after the last page is turned.

Dripping in glamour, charged by eroticism, but laden with immense peril, in this world of high-stakes espionage, nothing could be more fantastic than the truth.

Arkady Renko returns in this tense political thriller about what it means to fight for truth and justice in today’s Russia, from one of the undisputed masters of the genre.

When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Volkov – a wealthy Russian businessman and the son of Moscow’s mayor – he knows he has to tread carefully. Maxim Volkov is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem.

Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Alexei Volkov’s murder, he realizes that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed.

Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs – but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line.
