The Cossack

Winter 2014. In London, Daniel Brooking is a successful fine art photographer on the eve of his latest exhibition. In Ukraine, the Euromaidan protests are in full swing. The sudden disappearance of Daniel's Ukrainian assistant upends his comfortable existence and pitches him into a world of competing international interests, where the life of one photographer is considered a small price to pay to maintain a secret that has lain hidden for over two hundred years. London, North America and Kiev provide the backdrop to a contemporary thriller that has at its heart on old but not quite forgotten legend from the ancient Cossack lands of Ukraine.
