A knife at his wife's throat and his two young daughters gagged by rough hands; Ian Vaughan spun round in alarm only to be knocked unconscious by the stranger he had just helped.Isolated and forced to sail a yacht across the Atlantic at the mercy of sadistic maniacs, Vaughan knows he must not anger his captors, whose comrades are holding his family hostage but, his innate sense of duty compels him to figure out a way not only to escape, but to stop the deadly plan that they are executing.Vaughan's quick-thinking and bravery help fuel suspicions that have been aroused amongst friendly parties both in the UK and USA who must gamble on the scant information they have to fit together all the pieces of the puzzle before the plan comes to its deadly conclusion.
Ian Vaughan. Family man... once. Now recruited to the SIS and fresh out of training, his first field op looks to be almost a breeze. His assignment sounds highly achievable - a mission to befriend a charismatic politician who, in the wake of the failed Arab Spring, has conceived a unification plan for the North African oil and gas producing nations. Western governments welcome the plan, but other forces are at work... A conference to present the plan is to be held on the beautiful island of Madeira and Vaughan, using the cover of a maritime author, is dispatched to the island, assisted by the Royal Navy. En route, he rescues a boy adrift on a sailboard and comes into contact with his widowed mother who is host to her Brazilian uncle, unaware that his entire ambitions could destroy the European economy. Greed and death lay in the shadows as Vaughan finds himself embroiled in conspiracy and danger, challenging both his judgement and his courage. The third book in the Vaughan series, Shadows in Sunshine continues the thrilling pace of its predecessors and charts the waters of international espionage with poise and finesse.
