As one of the characters in Assassins says, Tolstoy was right, you can't
beat the Gods. It's the small things - the warp and woof - that make up
the pattern. And how much influence do we have over the small? Now
that's a theme for a modern writer. And Nicholas Mosley is this writer.
Part political thriller and part love story, Assassins explores the
small things that give shape and meaning to the big events.
