A Very Expensive Poison: The Assassination of Alexander Litvinenko and Putin's War with the West

A true story of murder and conspiracy that points directly to Vladimir Putin, by The Guardianâ€™s former Moscow bureau chief.

On November 1, 2006, journalist and Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned in London. He died twenty-two days later. The cause of death? Poloniumâ€”a rare, lethal, and highly radioactive substance. Here Luke Harding unspools a real-life political assassination storyâ€”complete with KGB, CIA, MI6, and Russian mobsters. He shows how Litvinenkoâ€™s murder foreshadowed the killings of other Kremlin critics, from Washington, DC, to Moscow, and how these are tied to Russiaâ€™s current misadventures in Ukraine and Syria. In doing so, he becomes a target himself and unearths a chain of corruption and death leading straight to Vladimir Putin. From his investigations of the downing of flight MH17 to the Panama Papers, Harding sheds a terrifying light on Russiaâ€™s fracturing relationship with the West.
