by Nicholas Mosley (Author)
As one of the characters in Assassins says, Tolstoy was right, you can't beat the Gods. It's the small things - the warp and woof - that make up the pattern. And how much influence do we have over the small? Now that's a theme for a modern writer. And Nicholas Mosley is this writer. Part political thriller and part love story, Assassins explores the small things that give shape and meaning to the big events.
