The Lunar Code by Robert Foster

A fast moving book with an interesting plot, not very long but thoroughly enjoyed it

A Russian cosmonaut is found murdered in his London hotel room hours before delivering a lecture on the Soviet moon shots.

The Metropolitan Police believe they have their man, and the case is closed.

But in the moments before he died, the victim horribly mutilated himself.

One man understands the significance of that act.

Detective Chief Superintendent Peter Gower realises that the victim was leaving a clue - that this was a crime committed by a fellow Freemason to keep hidden one of the great secrets of that mysterious fellowship.

Gower is about to embark on the most dangerous case of his career – and discover the last great conspiracy of the space race.

His is about to unlock The Lunar Code.
