A more timely book I have never read.
Karl is an ISL leader fighting in the City of Mosul. Realising that defeat is inevitable he sends two jihadists into Europe to wreak havoc.
Meanwhile the Christian Al-Douri family, who have been struggling to survive in the bombed out, war-torn City, are trying to escape to Europe
Another bomber adopts the identity of his dead brother after he is killed accidentally setting of a bomb intended for a busy German City.
Hot on the trail of the terrorists is Police Senior Commissioner Major Max Kellerman.
The contradictions between the ease with which the terrorists move around their elaborate network of helpers, compared to the frantic attempts the Al-Duri’s make to find an illicit path to freedom could not be more stark.
Kellerman’s attempts to find the bombers before they can carry out an attack are frustrating, as he is always several steps behind in the maze of trails organised by their sympathisers.
Will he find them before all hell breaks loose.? You’ll have to read the book.
This story is so topical its frightening.
As with previous stories by Cristopher Lowery the devil is in the detail. Every page paints a picture which can only be the result of hours of research.
Everybody who watches the news will recognise this story for its reality.
What a great read.
