Sam McCready is The Deceiver, one of the Secret Intelligence Service's most unorthodox and most valued operatives, a legend in his own time.

An audacious Gaddafi-inspired plot to ship arms to the IRA; and the fourth when McCready presided over the aftermath of political murder and mayhem in the Caribbean. ________ What readers are saying: ***** 'Forsyth never lets you down. Always well researched, always gripping.' ***** 'Forsyth is the best storyteller . . . you feel that he is letting you in on secrets and that you are really there where the action is.' ***** 'Superb story and so topical. Once again Fredrick Forsyth demonstrates his mastery of suspense and mystery.'
