Playground: London is the gripping final installment of the Playground Diaries series, featuring Jack McBride and Dmitri Orlov.

When a prominent Russian opposition leader is assassinated in an Arctic prison, his killer is handed a new hit list with a few names—one that puts Orlov, the man who helped Jack rescue an MI6 agent from Russia, at the top. With their families and countless lives at stake, Jack and Dmitri must reunite for a race against time.

Pavel Novikov, the Russian SVR’s top assassin, discovers a tantalizing secret: hidden cash assets from the late Nikolai Gromov. The intel points to someone who may have pocketed the fortune—Jack’s own wife, Alexa Marou. Unable to resist, Pavel decides to hunt down the money while executing the names on his kill list. His super-talented hacker, Eva, uncovers a deadly secret: Dmitri Orlov has a hidden family. Now, Pavel holds all the cards. Not only does he plan to eliminate his targets, but he’s also determined to get rich.
Meanwhile, Svetlana Pevtsova and her Trust and Justice Foundation are making waves with a controversial documentary exposing the dark underbelly of Russian politics. The film’s future release sends ripples through the Kremlin, making Svetlana a target in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
At the same time, the Russian oligarchs and a secretive faction within the Moscow powers are scrambling to negotiate with the West, desperate to protect their assets from looming sanctions. Roman Yakimovich, a key player in these negotiations, reaches out to Jack, seeking a meeting with the British Prime Minister.

As agendas collide and alliances shift, everything spirals into a hurricane of action, where every player has something to lose—and something to win. Packed with political intrigue, explosive twists, and real-life stakes, Playground: London will keep you on the edge from the first page to the last.
