A counter-terrorist operation,codenamed Wildlife,is being mounted in Britain's most precious colony,Gibraltar.Its purpose: to capture and abduct a high- value jihadist arms-buyer.Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Minister,and a private defence contractor who is also his close friend.So delicate is the operation that even the Minister's Private Secretary Toby Bell,is not cleared for it.
Suspecting a disastrous conspiracy,Toby attempts to forestall it,but is promptly posted overseas.Three years on,summoned by Sir Christopher Probyn,retired British diplomat,to his decaying Cornish manor house,and closely watched by Probyn's daughter Emily,Toby must choose between his conscience and his duty to the Service.
If the only thing necessary for the
triumph of evil is that good men do nothing,how can he keep silent?

Believed to be a "Waterstones edition" having removed the adhesive residue of the missing circular sticker/LABEL myself in cleaning the dw/dj's spot from the identical place it would have been placed.The Waterstones edition includes a five page introduction by the author, as this offered book does,but is without the "Exclusive to Waterstones" sticker/label and obviously as the book is unsigned,there would not and is not,be a "signed by author" sticker.This UK edition was published April 25, 2013 - 12 days before the US edition issue/ release.
