Dead Reckoning (CH)

'Compulsive, propulsive reading... rich in character and energetically plotted' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'As intense and chilling as le Carre, Egleton is one of today's best thriller writers' - BOOKLIST The carnage in the doctor's office is appalling - and the police think one of the dead women is Secret Agent Peter Ashton's wife, Harriet. Ashton soon realizes that Jill Sheridan, his ruthless former lover, is part of the story. A computer hacker and a London private detective lead to another tantalizing strand of the mystery. But even Ashton is astonished by the Indian connection. It is clear that the complicated trail of murder, deception and high technology is leading straight to a controversial royal visit to India. And both the IRA and the Russians seem to be helping the enemy.
