Synopsis
What really happened to Osama bin Laden? For Thomas Morgan, the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington provide an opportunity to keep one step ahead of the law. With a broken marriage, two children and an overdraft, the former soldier, sometime spy and occasional thief finds a new market for his skills -- in Afghanistan, tracking down Taliban and al Qaeda fugitives. And when the world's most wanted man disappears, Morgan's talents as a bounty hunter command a much higher premium . . .Washington offers $25 million for its arch foe -- dead or alive. But only one man knows how to find him, and only Morgan has the expertise and grit to get close enough to kill him. Trouble is, the two men are enemies . . .

Review
"A brilliant performance with a fierce, uncosy intelligence setting off the fireworks." -- Philip Oakes, writing in The Literary Review (Nov 03)
Explores the treacherous world of intelligence agencies and agents with finesse...in this moving and elegantly- written novel. -- India Today Magazine
He gets the landscape right, and the people... But where the novel really scores is in its fundamental plausibility. -- Economist, July 2003
Lean, angry thriller...sour, clever postcolonial tale permeated with double-crosses...moves swiftly with a sharp eye for rugged landscape... -- The Guardian
The climax is as brutal as it is unexpected. -- Western Daily Press, July 2003
Thriller writers wake up, a talent has arrived. -- Bernard Cornwell
From the Author
I've spent some time in Afghanistan, both during the Soviet occupation and since the September 11 attacks. I was in Kandahar in February 2002 when I had the idea of writing a thriller about what REALLY happened to Osama bin Laden..
