Ken Knott works for the London radio station Live in the Capital! and he doesn’t hesitate to express himself—that’s what he’s paid for, in fact. He collects threats addressed to himself, and hangs the most outstanding ones on the wall at work. But when what can be interpreted as an attempt on his life occurs, even he is forced to take it seriously: what if Mr. Merriel, one of the kings of the capital's underworld, found out that his wife, the beautiful Celia, is cheating on him? What if all the precautions she took were insufficient and now Celia and Ken are in terrible danger? What if a James Bond watch with a satellite dish doesn't help?..For the first time in Russian.
