Synopses & Reviews
In this fast-paced novel from the former director of MI5, a British-born Pakistani is discovered among a gang of pirates attacking a cargo ship off the Somalian coast, setting agent Liz Carlyle on a case that will unravel across continents and ideological boundaries, and ultimately bring bigger, more explosive trouble-far closer to home.
A riveting story full of treachery, Rip Tide is also a reminder that terror can lurk in the unlikeliest places. Published in paperback to coincide with Rimington's newest novel, this is a relevant, insightful story with a unique perspective on a crucially important issue.
