Latent Hazard

Latent Hazard, a novel of conspiracy and political intrigue, is a high octane thriller, which takes the reader from Iceland to North Africa, Tallinn to Newquay. Suspense, political intrigue and an intricate plot combine to create a riveting read.

Set against a backdrop of weakened British Government finances and nervous City markets, fund manager Rafi Khan is interrogated by MI5 (the British secret service) in connection with a terrorist bombing in the City of London. His religion and the body of evidence against him make him a prime suspect. The local police, however, have their doubts. Is Rafi Khan a highly sophisticated terrorist or has he been framed? Pressure from the political masters in the Home Office is for swift and highly public justice.

The stakes multiply in a race against time, as the enormity of the plot begins to emerge. With our way of life threatened, can Detective Inspector Kate Adams and her team make sense of the intricate puzzle? But time is running out - will the new British Government face the threats head on? Or will political spin and procrastination give the terrorists’ skilfully planned attacks an unstoppable momentum and unleash Armageddon on an unsuspecting United Kingdom?

The author’s in-depth knowledge and diligent research are used to conjure up a remarkably topical and convincing thriller, which is terrifying in its accuracy.

Author's Note: Parts of the plot delve into the complexities of the shady world of finance. If you are interested in the workings of the City markets but are not familiar with financial terminology, please read on, as the book includes a helpful glossary.

If reading The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, or the financial pages of the newspapers is not for you, but you enjoy exciting and topical thrillers then please consider LATENT HAZARD - on the edge in which those parts of the original book relating to matters financial have been streamlined.
