A Very Expensive Poison
1 November 2006: Alexander Litvinenko is brazenly poisoned in central London. Twenty-two days later he dies, killed from the inside by polonium – a rare, lethal and highly radioactive substance. His crime? Having powerful enemies in Russia.
Discover the inside story of a real-life revenge tragedy that tore apart an individual and his family. Based on a decade’s reporting and interviews with the Russian mafia, the KGB and British police, as well as access to public inquiry evidence, Luke Harding uncovers the deadly trail of the poison that led to an assassination marking the beginning of the deterioration of Moscow’s relations with the west.
