Story
America, 1960. In Washington, DC, John F. Kennedy has just been elected president. In Havana, Fidel Castro has been in office for a year, and with Cold War tensions rapidly heating up and the Soviets leading the space race, the thought of a Communist leader so close to home is already raising American blood pressure. Anti-Communist fever is rampant in the USA, with a paranoid establishment seeing reds under every bed. Nevertheless, the decision to snuff out the threat of Castro by hiring Tom Jefferson, America's best assassin, to kill him comes from an unusual quarter: the Mafia.

Story
London, 2013, and the city is battling an epidemic of serial killings - even with the widespread government use of DNA detection, brain-imaging, and the 'punitive coma'. Detective Isadora 'Jake' Jacowicz is hunting a murderer, code-named 'Wittgenstein', who has taken it upon himself to eliminate anyone who has tested positive for a tendency towards violent behaviour - even if they've never committed a crime. His intellectual brilliance is matched only by his homicidal madness.

But alas, in the wake of an embarrassing disaster for MI6, Wilderness has been posted to remote northern Finland in a cultural exchange program to promote Britain abroad. Bored and with nothing to spy on, he strikes a deal with his old KGB pal Kostya to smuggle vodka into the USSR - but there is something fishy about Kostya's sudden appearance. Could it be connected to cobalt mining, a critical component in atomic bomb casings? Wilderness's posting is getting more interesting, but more dangerous too....

A compelling listen... with an unsatisfactory end.
Whilst this was a compelling listen, the plot was just too far fetched.
As a football lover, I found the back story to be at times quite fascinating and of course Kerr’s brilliance as writer makes it a thriller in the true sense of that word.
But the plot?

A Different book, but a very good, well paced read. Wincott was exceptional in the Audio version
Unlike many assumable or large cast of characters in "mystery who did it" story plots...all of the players, not just the leads - were part of the story; with well defined characters who struggled in that grey area of life between what's right & wrong, when does success become greed, commitment to obsession?
It's always enjoyable when you can take a side for, or against or not sure about the players...again unlike many mysteries there where many simultaneous stories involving all of the players were there start to finish,
