Crime & Mystery; Espionage & spy thriller

The first Sam Packer thriller.

Sam Packer of the British Secret Service knows a mission to Iraq is dangerous. But none more dangerous than this one.

A whispered secret in a Baghdad hotel lobby leads to his kidnapping, torture and expected execution. His paymasters have given him up for dead. Only the intervention of his ex-lover, Chrissie, and a hostage swap get him released.

But days later Chrissie is murdered. Perhaps she knew too much, knew of the secret that Sam had uncovered - that a biological terror weapon codenamed Fire Hawk had been smuggled from Iraq for use against an unknown target in the West. Personal motives of revenge clash with priorities of State Security as Sam follows the weapon's and his dead lover's murky past through the Middle East, Cyprus and the Ukraine.

At each step the mystery of the ultimate target deepens and the fanatics who control it become ever more elusive...
