Craig and the Midas Touch
The oil-rich middle eastern state of Jubayl is peacefully led by a long-serving and well-respected Emir, but that peace is shattered when his son and heir is found weighted in a watery grave beneath a leased oil rig. Peter Craig, overseas police adviser for the British Government, is in the region lecturing on couterinsurgency when his Embassy proffers his services to help find the killer. The chief suspect, an oil company worker with motive – his ex-girlfriend’s liaisons with the dead sheikh – looks to have been framed, but the ‘evidence’ against him is damning unless Craig can present proof that he has been set up, and find another credible suspect. How is the sale of the oil platform to a neighbouring state linked to a local pimp and businessman? And who has most to gain from the death? What had the Sheikh's network of spies discovered? When the final events of the intricate grand plan start to play out, the stakes are far higher than Craig could have anticipated and will call on all his skills and experience to avert international disaster in the Middle East.
