Harriet Crawley - The Translator

Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the threat to undersea cables has become high on the news agenda. Harriet Crawley’s novel The Translator centres on a Russian plot to sabotage such a key network. In this ‘classic thriller of the new Cold War’ as described by Antony Beevor, Crawley – a former Moscow resident for nearly twenty years - takes us from behind the scenes in the Kremlin to extravagant parties on the shores of the Crimea. The passionate love story set within a high stakes tale of espionage could not be timelier.
