Sakharov the Bear (Michael Gresham Legal Thrillers)
£3.80
Two CIA field operators obtain a bill of lading from an arms supplier in Moscow. Tracing the origin and destination of the weapons there is reason to believe a massive arms shipment has come into the U.S. through the Port of Long Beach. While their investigation proceeds, the CIA operatives are arrested in Russia and put on trial for stealing state secrets and murder. Michael Gresham appears in Moscow to defend them, but the trial turns into a kangaroo court of Russian justice. Corruption and undercover deceit threaten to put the Americans in front of a Russian firing squad.
The jury trial that follows is probably Michael’s strangest case ever. People die and people disappear, secrets are stolen, and confessions are made, but…is any of this based on truth and reality? Or is everything a wall of disinformation meant to throw off the Americans and stymie all attempts at justice in the Russian court? Watch from your front row seat as Michael takes on the KGB only to find the judge sending him to jail because he fought back in court. Everything is at risk here, as we look in on the American President, the NSA, the CIA, and DoD while the story accelerates to its exciting and shocking climax.

Just finished reading this book and I’m so glad I decided to give a new author (New to me) a try. I love legal thrillers and now I have lots of books to relish. Ok, I started at book 5 but now I get to read 1-4 and I can’t wait.
Other parts of my life might get neglected while I get to know Michael Gresham a little more but if I choose to lose myself in a book I can….and that’s what I intend to do 🙂

Almost a repeat of a Murphy book by this author . Terrible read , silly story line . Nothing to do with being a legal thriller .
by Mrs Sue Kirkpatrick
Waited for this book and wasn’t disappointed. It kept you guessing abdicate wasn’t at all sure about the ending and it came as a big surprise. Thank you John for another great read
by Fiona Gardner
Another fabulous story. How do you have such imagination and knowledge. Naturally,there were some unbelievable episodes but it was a story,a very good story after all. Looking forward to the next one
by Nick Stone
Very poor in all aspects. No appreciation whatsoever of rights of audience, or the lack thereof, in a foreign court. No proper description of the Moscow landmarks to which reference is made, and the story line is simply risible. The other books in the series are much better and the plots are plausible.

Your writing skills increase and you may rely more on your ability to develop character ,not needing so much blood and thunder or so many coincidences. Have confidence in your page turning capacity.

Stretches credulity just too far. Artistic licence is one thing but this storyline is absolute nonsense!
