  Thomas Craig
"Craig," says Mr Tytler, "appears to have been a man of a modest and retiring disposition, averse to any interference in the political intrigues of the times, devoted to his profession, and fond of that relaxation from the severer labours of the bar, which is to be found in a taste for classical literature.
Craig was, in 1604, one of the commissioners on the part of Scotland, who, by the king’s desire, met others on the part of England, for the purpose of considering the possibility of a union between the two countries.
Craig was, in the latter part of his life, advocate for the church, and under that character was employed at the famous trial of the six ministers in 1606, on a charge of treason for keeping a general assembly at Aberdeen.

 Amazon.com: A Wild Justice: Books: Craig Thomas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
With his usual clarity and energy, he sets two plot lines in motion in the opening scenes: in Russia, local police discover the corpse of an American employee of Grainger-Turgenev, a joint venture in Siberia; in America, Billy Grainger of Grainger Technologies and his wife, Beth, are murdered in their home.
I have read several of Craig Thomas's books, it is hard to believe that he could have written this book.It seemed as if Lock's sister, was more than just a sister.Mostly it was boring, especially the last part of the book.
The story is interesting and has real possibilities but the author's style gets very tiring because he jumps from one scene to the next and it is difficult to pick up where you left off before you "jumped".
