I found the storyline compelling, the time lines very clear and the struggle of corruption palpable. Zarbi is absconding from his house—where he was kept in consideration of his advanced age—and is presumably in pursuit of his former partner Nadir Laloul who had abandoned him all those years ago, skipping the country with the entire ill-gotten wealth. I’m 1999 Laboul fled the country after embezzling the national oil company and left his friend Wassim Zarbi to face the music.A former agent is on the run, after serving twenty years in prison for his involvement in a high-level corruption scandal. With all the double dealing and betrayal rife at the time, perhaps a little understandably, I had difficulty in following some parts as much as I would have liked. He gives him a case that he will need to work with the feared secret service, hunting down a former agent. Another fantastic novel by Robert Goddard and a little bit more of a thriller than some previous books.
