Tom Cain is the pseudonym of
an award-winning journalist who has conducted several hundred in-depth
interviews with senior politicians, billionaire entrepreneurs, Olympic athletes,
movie stars, supermodels and rock legends. He has investigated financial
scandals on Wall Street, studio intrigues in Hollywood and corrupt sports stars
in Britain. The first Western journalist to cross the border into Serbia after
the US bombing campaign of 1999, he has lived in Moscow, Washington DC and
Havana, Cuba. Although he has edited four magazines, published over a dozen
books, written film-scripts and been translated into some 20 languages, this is
his first thriller.
