New York Tribune investigative reporter Matt Kozar is compelled to head to Ukraine, the homeland of his great-grandparents, after hearing an impassioned speech by high-ranking US senator William Bradford denouncing Vladimir Putin's murderous invasion. On a trek to a front line, Kozar witnesses firsthand the shocking and unimaginable war crime atrocities committed by Russian soldiers.

With his horrifying accounts splashed across the front page of the Tribune, the reporter returns to New York to be hit by news that the senator has been arrested and charged in the brutal murder of his intern. In this fast-paced political thriller, Kozar and his forensics expert girlfriend, Mei, get caught up in a seemingly impossible investigation of Senator Bradford's wildly unbelievable claim that he was framed by the Kremlin.

The reporter hits one dead end after another while locking horns with Bradford's attorney and a Washington, DC, homicide captain. Putin's Assassin is the second book in the Matt Kozar series and follows Wheat$haft by Victor Malarek.
