Publisher's description:

On November 1, 2006, Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB officer, sipped tea in the upmarket Millennium Mayfair hotel - tea that had been spiked with a rare radioactive isotope called Polonium 210. Twenty two days later, he was dead. This work documents Litvinenko's life and death, the police investigation, and the Russian emigre set in London.
