A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

When a CIA informant from Kandahar is gunned down in a suburban area of Virginia outside D.C., special Agent Jack Saunders is tasked with uncovering a plot that could alter the fate of Afghanistan and unsettle a tepid peace in the Middle East. But when a raid on a radical safe house goes horribly wrong, Jack finds himself without support within his own government.

Determined to find answers on his own, Jack enlists the aid of Cianna Phelan, a disgraced former war hero trying to put her life back together. When Cianna s brother, Charlie, returns to South Boston from active duty in Afghanistan and immediately goes missing, Cianna and Jack find themselves in a race against time not only to save his life, but to prevent an international conspiracy at the highest levels of the US intelligence community. As lives are lost in the warrens of Boston s clannish underworld, Jack and Cianna realize they are on the trail of one of the most sacred artefacts in all of Islam. And when the bullets start to fly, they realize they can never know whom to trust, and nothing is what it seems.

Praise for David Hosp

Red-hot fiction rooted in stone-cold fact a legal thriller to rival the best from Grisham or Turow

Lee Child

'It is the detail and subplots that make Hosp such a gripping writer. He creates real dilemmas for his characters and saves the most touching resolution to the very end... Hosp is growing and developing with each new book'

Daily Express

Revue de presse :

"Hosp manages some nifty twists" --Sunday Times

"One could very easily see The Guardian as a series or movie. Not only is it topical and dramatic, but Hosp s writing makes everything immediate and visceral, with graphic images and deceptively simple set-ups... I really enjoyed this book... The story was intriguing and gripping, with great, simplistic writing, and intense visual scenes" --littlewordsreview

"A well-constructed gripping thriller about true justice, betrayal and political conspiracy. Maybe it s time to put Fifty Shades of Grey back on the shelf and burn the midnight oil with The Guardian" --Northern Scot Midweek

"Hosp is a decent storyteller and The Guardian is an absorbing read"
--Guardian
