Dust jacket is protected with mylar and price is unclipped. Robert Harland, hero of Porter's A Spy's Life is back. The US President's special counsel on security is assassinated in a spectacular set piece kiling at Heathrow.. A Pakistani employee at the airport and his family are found murdered in their council house in Uxbfridge, In New York, a fashionalbe upper East Side osteopath who is treating Harland for back pain, received two postcards of the Empire State building from a man called Karim Khan, one posted in Turkey and the other, Iran. A group of migrant workers, including Khan, enroute from Afghanistan to the EU is brutally gunned down in Macedonia. The quest to find the link betweeen these apparently random events is pursued by Harland, with the help of Isis Herrick, a young female officeer of M16, in a remarkable thriller that explores our frightening post 9/11 world. It is a world that inspires paranoia on a grand scale, where international agencies give no quartrer and show no scruple in hunting down supposed terrorists, and where torture is used by democratic societies who cite defence as the justificationn for their actions. Henry Porter is the writer of espionage thrillers for the new millennium.
