An innocent man set up for a deadly terrorist attack! Sounds way too thrilling. False Flag by Jay Tinsiano is all about series of dirty crimes committed by the intelligence officers and setting up innocent foreign travellers to cover up their mess. This book is thoroughly fast-paced, gripping and engrossing from the very first pages.Thanks to the author, Jay Tinsiano, for sending me over a copy of his novel, in exchange for an honest review.Frank, who just broke up with his girlfriend, decides to hit the road by travelling to Goa, Bangkok and Hong-Kong. His Goa trip turns out very well, manages to make some friends like Maria and Theo, but unfortunately he didn't know that he was already being set up for something heinous. Then he moves to Bangkok and check-in with the hotel that Theo had suggested, and this is where he met, Richard, who asks him to do some smuggling for him across the country, Frank does that gladly, as he was robbed off all his money and passport. But now the story gets highly interesting and exciting, as Frank discovers this not any kind of petty crime, instead something big, which involves some high-rank officials in the government committing a series of terrorist attacks and before he realises, its already too late.The storytelling of the author is amazing, he managed to keep his story interesting by giving twists and turns in every last pages of every chapter, that is something which will definitely keep the readers on their edges. The characters were well-fitting, especially Frank, an innocent guy but with a mind of a genius, he thinks fast, acts fast, only problem he believes people too easily and also we can feel his pain of losing his whole family, then there's Maria, a Dutch girl, who likes to live her life, whose father is another con-man, who had been involved in setting up Frank. The chemistry between Frank and Maria is sweet and imploring, although not to mention they only had a one night-stand and all throughout the journey of Frank, no such emotions were exchanged instead they acted more like friends, helping out each other. Almost all the characters had a backhand-story, including the notorious killer of this plot. All-in-all, a short mystery novel which is going to take you through many exotic places.So if you're looking for some fast-paced mystery, this book perfectly fits the bill.
