A second science-based thriller to rival the best of Michael Crichton, from the acclaimed author of Nemesis

When British scientist, Dr Fred Findhorn, is offered a king's ransom by a Japanese corporation to retrieve a briefcase from a Russian military aircraft that crashed fifty years ago, he's naturally intrigued.

But finding the briefcase is the start of a deadly race against time as rival groups all stake their claim to its content - the diary of Lev Petrosian, an East European wartime refugee who worked on the development of the hydrogen bomb.
But Petrosian discovered something else - something that could change the course of human history, or put a very sudden end to it...

Cat and Mouse, published in hardback in December 1997 went to number 8 on The Sunday Times bestseller list and number 3 on its paperback publication.
