Description

A gripping international thriller, perfect for fans of Homeland.

Trust. Betrayal. Conspiracy. Jacob Seger is a trainee diplomat who dreams of changing the world.

But on his first posting, in Beirut, he meets a handsome stranger at a party and is swept up in a passionate, obsessive, affair.

His relationship with Yassim eclipses everything – until one day Jacob recognises his own face in the newspaper.

He is wanted on terrorism charges. Has Yassim set him up? Is he now a pawn in a murderous plot? Jacob is being pulled into a dangerous and complicated game.

He needs to learn the rules, and escape Beirut – and he needs to do it fast.

At once a moving love story and a gripping adventure, The Friend is an intelligent, urgent thriller that casts light on the dark threats facing the world today.
