Description

A fast-paced thriller combining the forces of fear, love, heroism and extraordinary adventure. 'In northern India a twelve-year-old boy is being interrogated by three intelligence officers. A tape-recorder turns; there is no air conditioning, no fan. Everyone but the boy is sweating: his tale is so incredible that none dares believe it.' The child appears to be the reincarnation of a dead British secret agent: his knowledge is that of a grown man, Matthew Hyde, who disappeared in China's Sinkiang province whilst investigating the links between Iraqi nuclear scientists and Chinese research bases. Somewhere -- and only the boy knows the secret -- there is a massive conspiracy to supply Saddam Hussein with a weapon against which there can be no defence. From the corridors of power in London to the lost cities of the Taklamakan desert, this crackling novel encompasses fear, love, heroism and extraordinary adventure.

Reviews

'A fast-paced, edge-of-the-seat yarn about the world of international espionage. The book is as informative as it is gripping. Mr Easterman writes with a skill and panache that leave most other practitioners of the genre standing.' Newcastle upon Tyne Journal Reviews for Daniel Easterman's previous novels: 'There are shades of Graham Greene in the climate of brooding terror which Easterman conjures so very nicely.' Independent 'The storyline is strong and bold, with its unavoidable, occasional harshness tempered by the delicacy of the romance that unfolds.' Sunday Times 'Ingenious... splendidly gruesome set-pieces.' Evening Standard
