Pelham Rigby is an investigative journalist for London newspaper, and his travels take him around the world on missions that can never be discussed. Roxanne is the beautiful wife of a Spanish businessman with a dubious past, but she only has eyes for Rigby. Arne is the powerful CEO of Myrex, Inc., a corporation that is not all it seems. When Rigbys newspaper sends him on a mission to Estonia, all four lives become entwined in an explosive series of events that threaten not only Rigbys safety, relationships and career, but his life. Increasingly drawn into the clutches of both British and American security services, and the murky cauldron of Myrex, Rigby is forced to make decisions that compromise everything hes ever believed in. Building up to a stunning denouement, where the action shifts from a Soviet submarine base in Estonia to a smart London hotel, The Double Bind of Mr Rigby is an exciting, absorbing thriller will not only take you places youve never been before, but make you question whether what you are reading is fact or fiction. Brian Martin has waited too long to write his first book.

He should give his vivid imagination another outing soon Spectator.
