Russia has never been so unstable as when an assassin begins eliminating key political figures in the midst of the presidential election campaign. The only one who knows who is behind the assassinations is Anthony Bitters, a retired Scotland Yard detective. Even he, however, doesn’t know the killer’s true identity or what he looks like and can only refer to him by his nom de guerre “Matisse.” The only hints are left by Matisse himself in the form of his assassination paintings, each of which reveals a tantalizingly enigmatic facet of his personality and past. Eventually a sort of self-portrait emerges, but only for those with the skill to see. Now, after nearly thirty years of trying, Bitters has one last chance to run down a personal demon, a phantom who has eluded not just him and Scotland Yard, but western security agencies around the world. Will Bitters succeed and at what cost? Russia is in the throes of a collective insanity where intermittent sightings of one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse vie with the sensational political murders for the public's attention. The nation could implode at any moment. Nothing, however, is of any consequence to Bitters other than to bring the hunt that began so long ago to a crashing halt. www.portraitofanassassin.com

England entered the nineteenth century having lost the American states and was at war with France. The slave trade had been halted and the country was in torment, with industrialization throwing men and women out of work as poverty haunted their lives. As the merchants of England and America saw their businesses stagnate and profits plummet, everyone blamed the government and its policies. Those in charge were alarmed and businessmen, who were believed to be exploiting the poor, were murdered. Assassination indeed stalked the streets.The man at the centre of the storm was Prime Minister Spencer Perceval. From the higher reaches of society to the beggar looking for bread, many wanted him dead, due to policies brought about by his inflexible religious convictions and his belief that he was appointed by God. In May 1812 he entered the Lobby of the Houses of Parliament when a man stepped forward and fired a pistol at him. The lead ball entered into his heart. Within minutes he was dead.Using freshly-discovered archive material, this book explores the assassin's thoughts and actions through his own writings. Using his background in psychology, the author explores the question of the killer's sanity and the fairness of his subsequent trial.Within its pages the reader will find an account of the murder of Spencer Perceval and a well-developed portrait of his assassin. --Publisher
