Centro Alvo II (Centro Alvo #2)
by Owen JonesCentro Alvo II Quatro explosões extremamente grandes destroem duas instituições importantes em Bancoc sem aviso prévio. Todos em ambos os edifícios são mortos, mas nenhum dos prováveis candidatos reivindica responsabilidade. Os governos britânico e americano têm interesse e a Força Policial Real da Tailândia inicia suas próprias investigações, mas todos demonstram pouca consideração pelas investigações do outro. A cooperação é mínima. Isto significa que os britânicos têm que ter uma equipe no local... uma equipe que tenha experiência suficiente para realizar o trabalho com quase nenhuma ajuda, já que eles não têm ninguém disponível. Uma equipe especializada no uso de métodos não convencionais. Enquanto os altos escalões se perguntam como eles vão lidar com essa situação embaraçosa, um membro da SAS, uma das unidades de combate de mais elite britânicas, lembra de ter visto Gareg, Bob e Dave em um antigo hotel de teca em Koh Samui, no caminho de volta de uma missão, então um agente do MI6 é enviado para investigar. Este é um eletrizante suspense em Bancoc, Koh Samui e nas florestas tropicais tailandesas e malaias no sul da Tailândia, revivendo memórias da questão irlandesa e separatismo nos anos setenta e oitenta.
Centro Perfetto: Quando gli attentatori suicidi non sono dei fanatici religiosi! (Centro Perfetto #1)
by Owen JonesCentro Perfetto Quando gli attentatori suicidi non sono dei fanatici religiosi! Quando un kamikaze si fa esplodere allo Sheherazade, un grande magazzino di Baghdad, la reazione delle autorità irachene è di considerarlo un normale atto di terrorismo e assegnare il caso al capitano Allawi della polizia nazionale irachena. Mentre ispeziona abitualmente le riprese video delle telecamere di sicurezza, un giovane poliziotto con la vista acuta nota che l’attentatore suicida non è quello che vuole far credere, e questo da una svolta all’indagine in una direzione che nessuno aveva mai considerato possibile prima. Le conseguenze di questa nuova forma di terrorismo sono terribili. Poi, in un breve lasso di tempo, si verificano altri sei crimini che coinvolgono attentatori suicidi, inspiegabili a meno che non siano visti alla stessa luce dell’attentato di Baghdad. Questo porta le forze di polizia di Marsiglia, Essen, Belfast, New York, Londra e Los Boliches a lavorare insieme sotto l’egida dell’Interpol per mettere fine a questa nuova banda criminale. Una svolta arriva quando la polizia si rende conto che ci sono diversi moventi per gli attentati suicidi, ma dal momento che i colpevoli sono imprevedibili, arrestarli diventa impossibile. L’unica tattica percorribile è concentrarsi sul metodo di ricerca degli attentatori, anche se ovviamente muoiono tutti nelle incursioni. Il caso inizia a sembrare senza speranza. Nonostante numerose piccole svolte, le forze di polizia congiunte, a capo del capitano Allawi, non riescono a compiere importanti progressi, quindi chiedono al governo cinese l’assistenza dei loro esperti di Internet, perché si ritiene che siano i migliori al mondo. I cinesi, con l’ausilio delle autorità lettoni e argentine, rintracciano il probabile quartier generale della banda nell’Inghilterra occidentale, e quando i loro omologhi britannici esaminano i dati
