It was the time when the colonial powers were surrounded by an outbreak of Arab nationalism. The British were being driven out of their former bases in the Middle East. Popular leaders were dethroning "Friendlies," and replacing them. The people's voices no longer could be ignored; they were taking back their countries-- foreign interests be damned! Jonathan used to work for the British MI6 branch in Paris until he suddenly found himself administering the whole MI6 program for the Middle East. He became the disgruntled boss of other agents scattered throughout the region. He was expected to know everything that was going on, and to redirect outcomes to the British advantage. Never before had the Middle East been so dangerous for foreign agents. Although Jonathan was born in Ireland, he left as an adolescent to work as a fulltime sailor and part-time MI5 informant. In two previous volumes of this series (Istanbul's Silent Witness and Istanbul's Secret Warriors) he takes you through the dark, tangled streets of Istanbul and, the interesting Middle Eastern venues that attract tourists. Once again he teams up with Detective Abdullah of the International Istanbul Police and with an American spy, Adam Chelabi. Learn more about the mysterious American double agent named Wilson. Join these four super-spies as their adventures take them to Latin America as well as throughout the mysterious Middle East. This is the last of this companion series, so follow our international warriors into a retirement that proves anything but dull.
