Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2005

Guy Sinclair is an insurance agent. But not just any agent. When the company director invites him to a restaurant to talk about his doubts concerning the firm's world renowned business partners, the last thing he expects to be is the target of a suicide bomber. Miraculously surviving, he flies to Saudi Arabia to investigate a routine claim that turns out to be anything but routine. Accepting yet another invitation he should have turned down, Sinclair attends a party turned surreal. Witnessing a brutal murder, he finds himself the suspect. The penalty under Saudi law? Beheading. The only person who can possibly help him? The sister of the woman who blew herself, and his boss, to smithereens. Can it get worse? Yes. It can. When the trail he follows leads close to home. And Sinclair's family becomes involved with him in a deadly foreign policy.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read - recommended!, September 23, 2005

This review is from: A Foreign Policy (Mass Market Paperback)

First attempts from new authors seem to be very hit or miss in my experience. Mr. Graham-Yooll definitely hits the mark with this book. It flowed very well and kept my attention throughout. The plot and character development was solid, and the writing accessable and witty. The book was well researched, and did not insult the readers intelligence unlike some recent best selling works (dan brown's drivel). A good book keeps me up past midnight...as this one did two nights in a row. I'll be looking forward to his next book!

A lively cast of characters, a page-turning plot, and a few poignant insights into the state of international relations and US politics in particular. This was a truly enjoyable read, and I hope we'll soon be seeing more novels by this author.

More than a paperback thriller, this book is not just an entertaining read but gives revealing insights into the complexities of Middle East politics. This is a fast-paced story with a cast of interesting characters who come together in deftly managed plot. Don't miss it!!
