Andrew asked Mark Ellis:

Can you read Stalin's Gold as a standalone novel, or should I read Princes Gate first?

Mark Ellis Hi Andrew. I wrote it so it could be read as a standalone novel and several reviewers have commented that they didn't feel at a loss from not having read the first book. Obviously I am writing a series which does involve the development of various characters as the series progresses. A number of readers have said they read the 2 books in the wrong order without loss of enjoyment.
