The Hunted Brian Haig Grand Central Publishing $25.99 HC August 12, 2009

Take a young entrepreneur in the Soviet Union, just as it's falling apart, back into Russia; turn him into a multi-millionaire, have him pursued by corrupt KGB and ex KGB agents, send him fleeing to America where the FBI go after him and you have the makings of a thrill a minute novel. If you'd rather not write this yourself you can turn to The Hunted as Brian Haig has done the work for you. Based on a true story, The Hunted has an intrepid hero (Alex Konevitch), his beautiful wife (Elena) an evil mastermind, bumbling henchmen, torture, killing, narrow escapes, money, in short everything you'd ask for in a quick summer read. Brian Haig is the author of Secret Sanctuary and Man In The Middle as well as several other thrillers. The Hunted is another fast paced, action packed, novel worth consideration.
