Intervention: The King Pin
An unlikely partnership between the British Intelligence Services, a billionaire master criminal and an unemployed operations manager is never going to be easy. Heroes Laura Harding, of MI5, and Rob Krane have to somehow keep Burak Demir focused on their agreed objective: to dismantle Burak’s vast international criminal empire. However, Burak’s commitment and openness is, not surprisingly, sometimes lacking. And, disturbingly, they keep coming across links to terrorism, including an imminent threat to a high-level meeting of senior European politicians.
Intervention: Eavesdroppers
When heroes Laura Harding, of MI5, and Rob Krane investigate just one arm of master criminal Burak Demir’s empire they soon realise that their task will be dangerous. Terrorists have slipped in on the back of Burak’s activities and both have successfully become established at the very heart of Europe’s financial markets. Laura and Rob have to now not only thwart Burak’s criminal activities and the underlying terrorists, but also avoid a global financial meltdown and preserve the markets’ reputation.
Intervention: Murky Depths
Heroes Laura Harding, of MI5, and Rob Krane chase across Europe and northern Africa on the tail of master criminal Burak Demir whose desire for revenge has unintended deadly consequences. When counterfeit money then links London’s impending anti-capitalism demonstrations to Burak’s nemesis, Laura discovers a disturbing convergence of mass terror targeting many thousands of innocent people and London’s survival as a financial centre.
With everlasting and immense gratitude beyond possible expression in words I dedicate this book to Belinda Hanford, my amazing wife, for her support, encouragement and patient reading of draft manuscripts. Without Belinda’s involvement none of my books would have ever been written and the creative pleasure that results would not have been experienced. Thank you.
I also need to express a huge gratitude to Marsha Dollinger, an ever-patient reader of my early manuscripts to check continuity and my often confused spelling and grammar!
