John Fullerton writes about war, espionage, duty and conscience. Choosing exotic settings from his experiences as a Reuters correspondent, from Afghanistan and Bosnia to Lebanon and South Africa, he portrays the lone individual up against forces much more powerful than himself or herself, and the struggle for survival that inevitably ensues. He is the author of four novels, THE MONKEY HOUSE, A HOSTILE PLACE, THIS GREEN LAND and WHITE BOYS DON'T CRY.
"What really happened to Osama bin Laden? For Thomas Morgan, the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington provide an opportunity to keep one step ahead of the law.
With a broken marriage, two children and an overdraft, the former soldier, sometime spy and occasional thief finds a new market for his skills - in Afghanistan, tracking down Taliban and al Qaeda fugitives. And when the world's most wanted man disappears, Morgan's talents as a bounty hunter command a much higher premium.
Washington offers USD25 million for its arch foe - dead or alive. But only one man knows how to find him, and only Morgan has the expertise and grit to get close enough to kill him. Trouble is, the two men are enemies..."
