## Description

A Very Expensive Poison [Harding, Luke] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. A Very Expensive Poison

Review: What a read! Well recommended. - Old school spies, a horrible murder, old secret soviet nuclear cities that never appeared on a map. This is this book. Well written, deeply researched. Reads like a John Le Carré thriller. Written by Luke Harding who was Moscow editor for The Guardian at the time.
Review: Much better than I was expecting - That sounds patronising. It isn't meant to. I was always fascinated by this story and that was my reason for buying the book. But what I discovered was a realistic detailed account of what happened told in a gripping way by an obviously talented author. Now I can highly recommend the book even to those with just a desire for a good read - for that is what this is. The fact that the story is true however, makes it both thrilling and shocking. Read it for information or just for a good read. But read it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book explaining Litvinenko's murder.
*by R***E on March 14, 2016*

This is a great book around the Litvinenko case, who was once a secret agent in Mordor. Mordor is a country governed by State terror and criminal acts. Litvinenko was once assigned to kill a friend and he resisted and the great leader of Mordor didn't iike that and consequently Litvinenko had to flee to the UK. Mordor's criminal organization has infiltrated in almost every free country and when Litvinenko was helping to uncover this in one country he became eligible for immediate killing. The leader of Mordor, the capo di capi, sends two trolls to murder him with the very expensive radioactive poison Polonium-210. This poison that is only produced in Mordor is believed to be undetectable. Luke Harding, once bureau chief in Mordor's capital, shows us that State terror from Mordor is not limited to Mordor only. Based on the inquiry held in London he leads us well through the Litvinenko case and nowhere in the book the abundance of information gets dull and consequently you want to keep reading and discover the next surprise. Also his observations about the atmosphere in the Litvinenko inquiry are well sketched.
