A page-turning thriller of life and death in the moral maze of
the post-9/11 world from the international bestselling author and
"best spy novelist ever" ("Philadelphia Inquirer)"
The rules are simple. Break up your shape. Hide your smell.
Never show your silhouette. Check the surfaces of your kit. Space
the movements of your team. Use the shadows. Danny "Badger" Baxter
has a talent for surveillance. He's always followed the rules.
Until now, they've kept him alive.
But now Badger has a bigger job than photographing dissident
Northern Irish Republicans in muddy Ulster fields, or Islamic
extremists on rainswept Yorkshire moors. MI6 have a plan to
assassinate the Engineer--a brilliant maker of Improvised Explosive
Devices, the roadside bombs which account for 80% of Allied
casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. The spooks know he's planning
to leave his home in Iran. They just need to find out when and
where he's traveling.
So Badger finds himself on the wrong side of the Iranian border,
burdened with a partner he loathes, lying under a merciless sun in
a mosquito-infested marsh, observing the house. If things go wrong,
as far as Her Majesty's Government is concerned, his part in the
plot is completely deniable. With "A Deniable Death," Gerald
Seymour expertly explores the moral compromises of the secret world
upon which we rely for our everyday security - and the amazing
reserves of courage which ordinary people can find in extraordinary
circumstances.
