Simon Smith

Simon Smith, an ex-infantryman and a practicing Oxford graduate Solicitor, singled out by UK Intelligence to lead the acquisition of a strategic asset in the Middle East, in an effort to preempt extreme Sunni terrorism. The story is a first-person account of the construction of Simon’s character, his enlisting, planning and execution of an intricate covert operation, including the blackmail of a Muslim member of the House of Lords, and Simon’s interaction with the Middle East culture and Muslim theology.
