Crime and Thrillers
Tariq Markovic, a 1995 Bosnian war veteran with PTSD-related memory loss, faces new turmoil when his daughter is diagnosed with leukaemia. With his wife now living near the hospital, Tariq has no option but to take his autistic teenage son, Nathan, to work with him at the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) under a government scheme.
His fractured relationship with Nathan takes on a new course when he discovers anomalies in the fraud investigation his father is involved in, exposing a deep web of corruption within the SFO. With $1 billion missing, Tariq becomes a prime suspect, leading to the fight of his life to clear his name.
Meanwhile, ruthless men will stop at nothing to unlock Tariq’s repressed childhood memories, believing he holds the key to finding the witness of the genocide of men and boys in the Bosnian war – the man with the eagle tattoo. As the stakes rise, Tariq is pushed to the limit. He must face the burning question - what is his true identity?
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I really enjoyed the book. It is has an exciting storyline with lots of twists and surprises right to the end to keep you guessing. The two main characters are very likeable and grow in their relationships with each other and with those around them as the story unfolds. An impressive first novel.
This is an excellent book in multiple ways. The start is written from the viewpoint of someone with PTSD, and possibly on the autistic spectrum. It incorporates very realistic mental health issues into a gripping tale. It becomes a real page turner which kept me up late as I couldn't put it down. Definitely recommended.
