"This superb book is a highly original blend of masterful storytelling with memorable characters and a fast-paced, twisty plot. The quality of writing is top-notch ... John Mordred comes alive on the page and is a character readers will not soon forget" - The Booklife Review.

Out of the blue, your sister gets kidnapped in one of the world's worst war-zones. As a top British intelligence officer, everyone agrees you're the ideal person to mount a rescue, only protocol forbids it.

So you resign. Your name is John Mordred, the country is Libya, and what happens next is uncertain. All you know is, there are as many good as bad people in this world, alliances for justice - no matter how improbable - are always possible, and you never let terrorists come between you and your family.
