Sinopsis

âÇÖFew novels engage convincingly with the grit and grime of intelligence work in Asia. This one does, and itâÇÖs a real page turner. Why? Because it pulls you into a secret world to grapple with issues few comprehend, like what happens when a spyâÇÖs professional conviction exceeds their designated role - and all hell breaks loose.âÇÖ-WARREN REED, MI6-trained former Australian Secret Intelligence Service officer with ten years active service across Asia and the Middle EastSpies, lies and retribution amongst the cramped alleys, jungle hinterlands and simmering sectarianism of remote Indonesia. An ambush on Australian intelligence officer Jordan Carter signals a warning: Operation ANVIL, the Indonesian-Australian campaign of subversion against the Islamists of North Maluku, has failed. As the intelligence services point the finger of blame, Carter ruthlessly hunts down a new enemy. His recklessness draws the attention of Ana Kovacevic, the journalist who has revealed the spiralling violence to the world. To confront a spy that will stop at nothing, she must venture into the heart of IndonesiaâÇÖs extremist underworld, a labyrinth of deceit and violence where the most powerful weapon, and the greatest sacrifice, will be truth.á âÇÖA novel of labyrinthian morality ... packed with intrigue, spectacular action, and the hard decisions intelligence agents face when the country theyâÇÖre sworn to protect chooses saving face over saving lives.âÇÖ-MATT CRICCHIO, author of Security Day âÇÖCollars readers and pulls them into the neglected byways of Southeast AsiaâÇÖs War on Terror, never letting go until the final page.
