Prophet Margin: Homeland meets horse racing in this tense murky thriller
Homeland meets horse racing in this tense, murky thriller where playing the geopolitical odds is as much of a game as racing horses
Politics. Business. Terrorism. Religion?
A bomb explodes at a racehorse sale in the grounds of London’s Kensington Palace. Claudia Haverford, an advisor to the Emir of a progressive Gulf State, is called away from the scene by her brother moments before the attack.
The Emir narrowly escapes death but, with a former Prime Minister and dozens of powerful people killed, who was the actual target, or targets? A new extremist environmental group claims responsibility but, as Counter Terrorism Command investigates, things are not as they seem.
Meanwhile, the Emir plans to secure his tiny nation’s future before its gas reserves run out. He intends to drag his country into 21st century secularism and social security, against the wishes of his family.
A disparate pool of extremists and shell-shocked soldiers is uncovered by police, along with a mysterious groom, and the case is made murkier by political pressure and the need for a swift, tidy result.
When Claudia’s brother is implicated and her boyfriend is arrested as an accomplice, her world shatters.
From the author of A Sure Thing, The Mandarin Stakes and The Ruthless Gene
