A Deniable Conspiracy: A gripping thriller inspired by real events - Paperback

by Ade Clewlow (Author)

IN THE SHADOWS OF MOGADISHU, LOYALTY CAN BE FATAL

A gripping debut thriller inspired by real events in one of the world's most dangerous cities.

In the heart of Mogadishu, where politics and power walk hand-in-hand with danger, Christian Travers, a British ex-military contractor, finds himself at the centre of a web of deception. Working for the United Nations, Christian enjoys rare access to senior Somali politicians, including the President himself. But in a world where international influence is currency, visibility can be a curse.

After saving the life of a British diplomat, Christian lands on the radar of MI6. Imogen Standforth, an ambitious intelligence officer, sees an opportunity, and Christian is her asset of choice. Drawn into a covert operation that spirals far beyond his control, Christian becomes the only person who can expose a conspiracy that threatens not just Somalia's fragile stability, but the balance of power among NATO allies.

Faced with betrayal, blurred allegiances, and a threat that spans governments, Christian must rely on instinct and conviction to survive and protect the people he loves.

Inspired by true events, A Deniable Conspiracy delivers fast-paced action, deep authenticity, and a chilling look into the murky world of international espionage.

"A dramatic debut novel, briskly told, and sharpened by Clewlow's own real-life experiences in Somalia." -Andrew Harding, BBC Foreign Correspondent and author of The Mayor of Mogadishu
