A Hostile State av Adrian Magson

<p><b><i>A routine assignment for deep cover specialist Marc Portman becomes something darker and deeper in this action-packed spy thriller. </i></b><br><br>Deep cover specialist Marc Portman is in Lebanon on a last-minute assignment. A straightforward collect-and-go job. At least it should have been. <br><br>Ambushed by a surprise attack, it''s clear that someone must have had advance warning of Portman''s arrival. But who is his unseen enemy - clearly one with considerable resources - and why do they want him dead? More importantly, how could his attacker have known of his movements with less than 24 hours'' notice? <br><br>Concluding there must be an active leak at the heart of the CIA, Portman finds himself virtually alone and on the run, hung out to dry by the powers-that-be. If he is to survive, he must use his unique skill set to turn the tables on his pursuers . . . and beat them at their own game.</p>
