Summary

Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian spy and Kremlin critic, dies in a London hospital bed, but not before accusing President Vladimir Putin of his murder.

In a dark world of political power games and fragile international relations, can the detectives find justice for Litvinenko's devastated family?
