Deadly Game
Harry Taylor is an old school copper, ex-SAS, no-nonsense, and more likely to kick open a door than turn the handle. In this, his first adventure, a lost lump of uranium leads him deep into the world of drug trafficking, Russian oligarchy, Caribbean glamour, and evil hiding in the genteel England countryside.

Description
Deadly Game: An explosive international thriller from the Hollywood legend and British icon Sir Michael Caine.
DCI Harry Taylor has no respect for red tape or political reputations, but he's great at catching criminals.
All his unorthodox skills will be needed as an extraordinary situation unfolds on his doorstep: a metal box of radioactive material is found at a dump in Stepney, East London. However, before the police can arrive, it is stolen in a violent raid.
With security agencies across the world on red alert, it's up to Harry and his unconventional team from the Met to hit the streets in search of a lead. They soon have two wildly different suspects: aristocratic art dealer Julian Smythe in London, and oligarch Vladimir Voldrev in Barbados. But the pressure is on. How much time does Harry have, and how many more players will join the action before the missing uranium is lighting up the sky?
Deadly Game is a compelling, fast-paced novel of international intrigue and twisting suspense from a legendary actor and British icon, who now proves himself to be a first-rate thriller writer.

The dialogue and theatrical climax have been praised for creating a lively, engaging read that some find hard to resist picturing in Caine's voice.
