Fiction
MI5 agent Liz Carlyle has a problem. She needs to find out why a young British citizen, raised in the Muslim faith, has been arrested with a group of pirates trying to hijack a ship of supplies headed for African relief workers. The search for answers takes her to a high-security prison in Paris, to the headquarters of a charity group in Athens and to a radical Muslim mosque in Birmingham. False leads, murder, untrained undercover operatives, as well as French and American involvement, keep her guessing to the very end of this fast-paced spy thriller that could easily have been taken from current headlines.
