Russian Roulette: A reluctant investigator, a sordid English seaside town, a criminal underbelly.
Trouble has a habit of seeking out Konstantin, whether he wants it or not. Starting from the moment he arrives in the seedy seaside town of Margate where he's supposed to be in hiding from his ex-employers. All Konstantin wants is to be left alone. But Konstantin can't help getting involved.
Konstantin has to overcome the drug dealer, the loan shark and a Liverpudlian gangster. Then there's the so-called good guys, the councillors and lawyers. Enter Fidelity Brown, aka Plastic Fantastic, who has her own mélange of secrets and lies, and nightclub owner Ken who's connected to all the wrong people. Both help Konstantin solve the cases dropped on his doorstep.
