Great-uncle Leon, the most successful assassin in our family’s
2000-year-old history, is back.

It’s 1920, the Great War is over, and the death rattles of the White
Russian armies echo across Europe and Asia as they crumble one by one before
the advancing Bolsheviks. It seems that Leon’s days with the British
Secret Service Bureau are over.

But when a battalion of British soldiers is shanghaied by a diabolical
Baltic baron hellbent on conquering Mongolia and backed by an international
organization of fascists, Sir Mansfield Smith-Cumming, head of the SIS,
sends his number-one assassin to take care of business.

From London and Paris to the Crimea, Georgia and war-ravaged China and
Mongolia, Leon and his accomplice, the beautiful Countess Catherine von
Merenberg, are plunged headfirst into a maelstrom of horror to rescue the
British troops and stop the reign of the Bloody White Baron.

About the Author

Jonathan Harries began his career as a trainee copywriter at Foote, Cone
& Belding in South Africa and ended it as Chairman of FCB Worldwide with
a few stops in between.

After winning his first Cannes Lion award, he was offered a job at Grey
Advertising in South Africa, where he worked as a copywriter and ended up as
CEO at age 29, just before emigrating to the US. Like most immigrants in
those days, he started once again from scratch. After a five-year stint as
Executive Creative Director of Hal Riney in Chicago, he was offered a senior
position at FCB. Within ten years, he became the Global Chief Creative
Officer and spent the next ten traveling to over 90 countries, racking up 8
million miles on American Airlines alone.

He began writing his first novel, Killing Harry Bones, in the last year of
his career and transitioned into becoming a full-time author several years
ago, just after retiring from FCB. He’s been writing ever since while
doing occasional consulting work for old clients.

Jonathan has a great love of animals, and he and his wife try to go on
safari every year. They’ve been lucky enough to visit game reserves in
South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Tanzania, India, and Sri
Lanka.
