Description
Hammer is a gripping novel that delves into the world of high-stakes art auctions and the complex web of power and desire. In 2013, London's auction rooms are abuzz with record-breaking prices, but beneath the surface, a treacherous game of cat and mouse unfolds. When Martin, a junior specialist at an elite auction house, meets Marina, an old university friend, he is drawn into a world of privilege and intrigue. As he navigates this new landscape, he finds himself torn between his ambitions and the danger that lurks beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Oleg, an enigmatic oligarch with a priceless art collection, is driven by a desire to redeem himself and reclaim his influence in a rapidly changing world. As Martin becomes increasingly entangled in Oleg's plans, he must confront the darker aspects of wealth and power, and the true cost of his own desires.
