A tense thriller that starts somewhat sedately and then gathers pace as the story develops. The plot combines the threat of a terrorist attack on Britain with the plan to bankrupt a large bank that is in financially perilous circumstances together with its unscrupulous bankers, the CIA and MI5. However, the characterisation of the major actors seems uneven and as the story progresses, some of them appear to act and suddenly show weaknesses that seem at odds with their previous confidence and sense of superiority and entitlement. This detracts from the overall tone and atmosphere of what is otherwise a promising first novel. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The mutilated body of a senior banker is found on a remote Kent beach. Could the man's death be linked to the scandal engulfing his employer, a global investment bank created by the CIA to help it track terrorism financing? Kate Pendragon, a financial analyst seconded to MI5, discovers that the bank is close to collapse, something that threatens to bring down the CIA. Elsewhere, intelligence is gathered on an Islamic terrorist cell intent on triggering a nuclear catastrophe to rig the world's financial markets ? rigged, it would appear, by the Americans. But will rogue agents in the CIA really allow the disaster to happen in order save their bank? Pendragon believes the intelligence community on both sides of the Atlantic could be falling for a sophisticated hoax. Only, no one is listening to her. And the clock is ticking...
