The backdrop of this rather intriguing novel is a FBI agent, Matt Slater, resigned after growing disenchanted with his role in the organisation. He is lonely but appreciates an adrenalin rush and chooses to take up the fight of global terrorism. However, events in New York on 11th September 2001, when the twin towers of the New York Trade Center were struck by Islamic terrorists he is invited back to the FBI as a counter-terrorist specialist.He embarks on his mission and finds himself in Saudi Arabia investigating the murder of an American family and the abduction of their young son. Perhaps unsurprisingly the FBI suspects that Al Qaeda has a prominent role in this act and it all points to the Afghanistan region. Matt later discovers an incredible link between the New York atrocity and the murders. With corruption rife and the ever present dangers for a US FBI agent in the region he discovers an Al Qaeda sinister plot where many thousands of American citizens would be killed.A well written and gripping novel, that provides an insight in to the culture and justice system of Arabic nations. You cannot help but think everything contained is actually highly plausible. Well worth reading and hard to put down as you share the dangerous journey with Matt.
