A believable and complicated story, a deserving antagonist, heroes with relatable depth and foibles, and sequences rich in detail in the Clancy or Ludlum style are all things Henry Porter delivers in his debut spy thriller. Government institutions’ self-serving hypocrisy takes on the role of the antagonist’s patron saint.
Only the tenacity of the detective, who was determined to solve the crime on his beat no matter what, a woman whose faith in the system she worked for became greater than her personal ambitions, and the victim of police “profiling” — the idea that if your mother is a terrorist, you are automatically a terrorist — prevented a terrible tragedy from occurring in this book.

A beautiful debut book that keeps you reading. Porter has joined my list of favourite authors of spy thrillers. Once you get started, it’s impossible to stop. Fast-moving plot with full, compelling characters that are believable. steers clear of the dull cliché of the macho male hero outwitting the forces of evil.
