"An absolutely extraordinary book. Combining the skills of a detective with those of a novelist, Pancevski has not only uncovered the truth about one of the most daring acts of sabotage in modern history but done so with the page-turning propulsion of a first-rate fiction thriller. One of those rare books that informs even as it wholly entertains." --Scott Anderson, author of Lawrence in Arabia "Totally fascinating, deeply researched, as compelling as a real international spy thriller that follows a winding thread through a submerged world of conspiracy - both a fantastic read and an important work of investigation." --Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Jerusalem "Bojan Pancevski has written a powerful detective story that finally and definitively answers the question of who blew up Nord Stream 2. Not only is it brilliant journalism, but it reads like a bestselling thriller." --Admiral James Stavridis, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander and co-author of 2034 " The Nord Stream Conspiracy is a riveting exposé of the audacious sabotage that destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines--the largest German-Russian energy project in history. With extraordinary access to the key players across nations, Bojan Pancevski delivers a gripping account and the closest look yet at an event whose geopolitical repercussions continue to reverberate.

" --Walter Russell Mead, author of Special Providence "This book is a classic and deeply engaging thriller about the actions of a vividly rendered and larger than life cast of characters involved in both the sabotage operation and its criminal investigation. With a keen journalist's eye for detail and a movie director's sense of pacing, Bojan Pancevski tells one hell of a story. You won't want to put this book down until you're finished." --Fiona Hill, author of There Is Nothing For You Here "A cinematic and compelling account of one of history's greatest acts of sabotage, Bojan Pancevski's The Nord Stream Conspiracy --unlike so much of what's been said by politicians and commentators on the attack--has the added benefit of being true." --Ben Smith, founder of Semafor and author of Traffic "Bojan Pancevski's investigation into the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines is as daring and mind-blowing as the sabotage itself. In its details the book is as precise as a brain surgery." --Ivan Krastev, author of The Light that Failed: A Reckoning "Bojan Pancevski delivers one of the most significant and riveting journalistic scoops of the twenty-first century. Through exclusive interviews, he reveals the definitive account of a daring mission brimming with secrets, saboteurs, and spies.

This is investigative storytelling at its finest--relentlessly fast-paced, meticulously reported, and an absolute page-turner." --Richard Kerbaj, author of The Secret History of the Five Eyes.
