Produktbeschreibung

Clearly a terrorist operation is being planned but who are the perpetrators and who, or what, is the target?

Based on the renowned British television series this is the story of a dangerous conflict of interests between the police and the intelligence services.

In the early hours of the morning, following an anonymous tip-off, Detective Chief Inspectors Craven and Haggerty ambush a boat landing on the south coast of England near Eastbourne. In the shoot-out that follows, several people are killed and the boat's cargo is found to consist of automatic weapons, ammunition, mortar bombs and explosives.

Craven and Haggerty's investigation is obstructed from the beginning by Strand, a senior MI5 officer, who orders them not to pursue a line of enquiry which they feel might lead them to the truth. Craven needs to know the identity of the informant, but Strand is behaving most mysteriously.

The climax comes with a terrifying race against time to locate the terrorists and save the life of no less a person than ...?

Although based on the characters in the TV series this book is a stand-alone novel and as such can be enjoyed in its own right without prior knowledge of the TV stories.

If you enjoy a good detective story, this is for you.

Survivors: Genesis of a Hero

Amongst the first of the post-apocalyptic novels and just as relevant today.

John Eyers is a pen name of Peter Hill who is the author of the successful Staunton and Wyndsor Series, The Hunters, The Liars, The Enthusiast and The Savages, and the Commander Allan Dice Books, The Fanatics and The Washermen.

These are all British detective murder mysteries and thrillers published worldwide by major publishing houses and now available as eBooks. Each book in these two series is a stand-alone story but has the same major protagonists.

New books by Peter Hill, but in a different genre, are the near and far-future novels in the Evolution's Path Series, Killing Tomorrow, The Ladies' Game, and Procreation, which offer a disturbingly realistic alternative vision of the future.
