Shortlisted for the John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger Award 2015.

A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.

Extremely topical, what with its principal protagonist, oil engineer Claymore Straker, in flight from a dodgy past, being kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and soon finding himself caught between opposing forces intent on discovering why the village of Al Urush is affected by a deadly, unidentifiable sickness. This debut thriller by a Canadian author with a wealth of experience in the Middle East and the oil industry has a ring of truth, but the author's deep knowledge of the settings never slows down the non-stop action, with distant echoes of a more-moral minded Jack Reacher or Jason Bourne. A forceful first novel by a writer not afraid of weighty issues and visibly in love with the beauty of the Yemen and desert landscapes his protagonists travel through.
