The Jonas Trust Deception follows up on the Orange Moon Affair in the style that we have come to expect from AFN Clarke.  Mr. Clarke is uniquely positioned to write the stories of Thomas Gunn.  Both men are ex British military, yacht enthusiasts, appreciators of fine wine, good music, and great friends as well as sharing the experience of near death experiences, and the clarity that this puts upon what is important in life.In this fast paced follow up to the Orange Moon Affair, Thomas and his girlfriend, Julie, are recuperating from their experiences as they tried to solve his father's murder, when Thomas receives a cryptic phone call from the woman who saved his life.  Speaking only in code, Morgan lets Thomas know that she is in trouble.  There are no other choices, so Thomas sets out to help her.What follows is a tale of mystery and intrigue that takes us deep into the worlds of high finance, politics, drugs and the under workings of Hollywood.  It seems that there is barely a moment to draw a breath before the next adventure begins, and the next plot twist begins to unfold.Mr. Clarke is a master at this sort of tale, weaving with his words the worlds that Thomas Gunn and his friends occupy.  Every character is believable, and the action never ends.
