Product Description
Synopsis
When an SIS operative is killed in a London restaurant shoot-out, police initially suspect no more than a robbery with drug and gangster overtones. But, it soon becomes apparent that one of the corpses has more than one name, and a cover-up is involved from within the depths of Britain's secret services. As British Council offices in Pakistan, and then Russia, are attacked by suicide bombers, it soon becomes apparent that there is a link between an apparently ordinary working lunch and world terrorism. Talal Asir, a banker who has financially backed almost every known terrorist organization, and Ali Mohammed Khalef, the bagman who has distributed the monies on his behalf, are two of the most dangerous men in the Middle East. How can Peter Ashton and his colleagues track down and eliminate them?

exhilarating Ashton anti-terrorism thriller
25 Mar 2006
Format:Hardcover
In London in a chic Italian restaurant, someone enters and opens fire; a massacre occurs. Among the dead is a mid level British SIS intelligence agent. The SIS encourages the local police to think it is a drug deal gone bad with collateral damage as they want the incident buried immediately.
While the police seem to be willing to accept the SIS explanation of the bloody event, internal troubleshooter Peter Ashton thinks why cover up an obvious assassination. He soon follows clues that connect the restaurant murders to terrorist financier Talal Asir, who has blood ties to the Saudi ruling family and was last observed in Damascus. As Ashton closes in on the truth, he soon regrets being one step too late to prevent suicide bombers from doing their destructive deeds at British consulates in Pakistan and Russia. Still he must stop further financing by Ashir and his "teller" Ali Mohammed Khalef before they finance the killing of more innocent lives.
THE RENEGADES grips the reader from the opening explosive lethal incident in a no longer quiet restaurant and never slows down as Ashton struggles with his superiors and with a deadly, well placed and financed adversary to stop further senseless killings. The action-packed story line moves forward as readers accompany a desperate Ashton globe-hopping to prevent tragedies, but at times he is too late. Clive Egleton is at his take no prisoners best with this exhilarating Ashton anti-terrorism thriller.
