James is a skillful writer who has lived the life of his protagonist for over thirty years. And the name used here is, of course, a pseudonym. For he continues his public career in distant parts of our troubled world, always available as a courier to the CIA and other U.S. agencies. It's this experience that brightens James' work with an unquestionable authenticity. And it also provides him with the insights needed to create a fascinating background for the story and the characters in it.
The protagonist, Chet Lake, is virtually a self-portrait of James. In Mugged in Marseilles, Lake finds his life is in danger when his identity is stolen. And the CIA network itself is in serious jeopardy, for his top secret handheld communicator was also taken.
In a strange twist, Lake confronts Hassan Aref, the thief who stole his identity and the CIA device, and learns of a deadly terrorist plot. He soon realizes only Aref can save his life, and those of the many scheduled to die at the hands of the terrorists who are linked closely to al-Qaeda.
As this story, which begins in Marseilles, flows at breakneck speed across Europe and into North Africa, there may be a point or two at which the reader will need to take a leap of faith. But James draws it all tightly together in a wrap that will surprise you.
Mugged in Marseilles is a fast moving, offbeat tale you won't be able to put down. And you'll enjoy every minute of the read.
