Synopsis

Spring 1980. A total security screen has been thrown around Edinburgh because as the capital of the newest of the oil-producing countries, it has been chosen as the site of their next international conference. The British security services are confident every possible loophole has been covered. The fact that a Palestinian group is sending its own representative as a sign of good faith is a fair indication that there will be no problems from that direction.The only disquieting note is struck by Alec Martin, who has information, from an impeccable source, that the city will come under a planned attack during the opening ceremony — yet no one will heed his warning. He's written off as at best a nuisance, at worst a crank. This nightmare dilemma forces Alec Martin to an inescapable conclusion: as he is the only person who believes in the threat, it is up to him, and him alone, to take action to prevent it.Reluctantly, but driven to near-desperation by the wall of opposition he encounters on all sides, Alec Martin, an ordinary individual who knows nothing of the subtleties and viciousness of the espionage game, accepts that in his barely-remembered skill as a wartime fighter pilot, he holds the key that will prevent a disaster of catastrophic proportions. But has he the nerve, the ability, above all the conviction to use it ?

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Chris Fitzsimons’s novels created a stir when they were first published in the 1980s by Hodder and Stoughton in the UK and by Viking Press and Atheneum in the USA. They were also published in Japan, Germany and Italy. They have now been re-released in both book format and - for the first time - in Kindle editions. Suspense is the keynote in Fitzsimons’s stories. As one reviewer said when they first appeared, if you start reading in the evening, be prepared to stay up into the small hours. Chris Fitzsimons was born and educated in Liverpool where he worked as a journalist on various newspapers before entering local government public relations. He lives in England, is married with three children and two grandchildren. As well as publishing novels he has had plays produced on television and radio in the UK and other countries.
