Rate this book
It is the final months of the 2016 campaign for the United States presidency. There is no question that the world is on edge. Mitch is a British Special Air Service leader who is cautiously going about his life and business. He has good reason. After all, his daughter, Bella, has already been a victim of a kidnapping. But when he and several former SAS soldiers are summoned from around the world to attend an operative’s funeral, everything changes once again. It is not long before Mitch and his colleagues determine foul play in the death of their friend. Unfortunately, he is not the first SAS operative to die under bizarre circumstances. As Mitch leads the charge to investigate the mysterious death, their quest for the truth takes them from San Francisco to London, from Lithuania to Moscow and to Tangiers in Morocco where they must survive many challenges. But do they have what it takes to thwart the dark forces that lurk in the shadows and under a veil of Maskirovka? In this international political thriller, a group of British Special Forces soldiers become intertwined in a complex mystery involving a drug cartel, the CIA, the IRA, and the Russian mob while investigating a former colleague’s mysterious death.

Fast action all the way

Good story line and characters. Be nice for a follow with Brexit in mind. The boys could sort out some of the MPs who run our country for themselves instead of the public

In this international political thriller, the main storyline revolves around the time of 2016 US Presidential elections. A group of British Special Forces soldiers become intertwined in a complex mystery while investigating a former colleague's mysterious death. This novel mainly symbolises the fact that no politics is truly clean in its foundation. There have been several instances where we have seen that famous people die under very bizarre and unusual circumstances. This novel is a thriller throughout, keeps the reader bound to complete it to know what twist is to come about next !

An interesting read. As I was reading every single page of the book I started getting no interest in it this story carries certain twist in it and there are lots of interesting characters also. I don't want to share the inner phase of the story because I am excited that people will go and read it on their own and also give their comments on the book like me.
