À propos de cet ebook

British police detective Tom Carver investigates what he believes to be a run-of-the-mill murder of a vagrant. As he works the case, however, he learns that the murdered man was a banker who was moonlighting as a black-mailer with ties to Maxamillion Snider, the head of a nefarious crime organization. The murder victim had stolen a top-secret disc for Snider with information about the government's attempts to manufacture a battlefield nerve gas agent. When he refuse to drop the murder case investigation, Carver is framed by members of his own force who are in league with Snider. Soon he's on the run from the police, security Services and Snider's hit men—and even his estranged family is threatened. Can Carver get Snider before the nerve agent is released throughout London?

Quelques mots sur l'auteur

From a family background steeped in law enforcement and military history, Barrie Kibble followed the tradition and served as a British soldier and police officer. During the course of his duty, he survived three near-death experiences—the last occasion was prior to leaving the Police Force when he walked unscathed from a devastating IRA bomb. Joining the business sector, he became a marketing manager for a well-known computer firm, and then a buyer for American, Swiss and British companies. His ruling passion has always been for the written word and of sharing that zeal with those who love to be gripped by a damn good story.
