  • "Zwei Freunde, zwei Welten, ein Ziel: Überleben C. M. Jones erzählt in Der Lockvogel, welche Auswirkungen moderne Wirtschaftskriminalität auf den Einzelnen hat. Der smarte, aber korrupte Anwalt Richard Lock arbeitet als Strohmann für den mächtigen Oligarchen Konstantin Malin. Für ihn entwickelt er ein komplexes System von Scheinfirmen, die Malins kriminelle Aktivitäten verdecken. Doch Malin hat mächtige Feinde, und nur über seine rechte Hand Lock kann er zu Fall gebracht werden. Das weiss auch der britische Sicherheitsexperte Ben Webster, der Lock in seinem Kampf gegen den Oligarchen benutzt. Doch aus den Gegnern werden Freunde. Zwischen allen Fronten müssen sie sich ihrem Schicksal stellen. C. M. Jones, der jahrelang für eine Sicherheitsfirma arbeitete, erzählt aus erster Hand. Sein packender, authentischer Thriller überzeugt nicht zuletzt durch die tragische Dimension der Hauptfiguren. Chris Morgan Jones arbeitete elf Jahre für eine der der weltweit grössten Unternehmensberatungen. Zu seinen Kunden gehörten Regierungen im Mittleren Osten, Bänker in New York, Londoner Investmentfonds, afrikanische Minen-Unternehmen und russische Oligarchen."

  • "Deep in the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources sits a nondescript bureaucrat named Konstantin Malin. From his shabby office Malin controls half the nation's oil industry, making him one of the most feared and wealthy men in Russia. His public face is Richard Lock, a diffident English lawyer bound to Malin by marriage, complacency, greed, and by a complex lie that neither can escape. But the lie cannot hold forever, and someone has hired Benjamin Webster, an investigator at a London corporate intelligence firm, to ruin Malin."
