The Ginger Jar

By Jeffrey Robinson

Release : 2023-12-09

Genre : Mysteries & Thrillers, Books

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
"A gripping spy thriller." -- Richard Condon

Richard Holbrook's flying career with the US Navy was probably finished. A horrible crash on an aircraft carrier killed his best friend. Now, working a desk job at London headquarters, he had too much time to drink and brood. Following up an odd little discrepancy in the nuclear shipment paperwork becomes a way to keep busy. But when his British opposite number begins to bluff and prevaricate, Holbrook senses danger.

Small quantities of nuclear materials are unaccounted for. But as soon as he stumbles onto the link between the missing nuclear material and the valuable item of antique porcelain purchased by a Hong Kong bank, he becomes a target.

If Holbrook can stay alive long enough he may be the only person who can stop the ginger jar reaching its destination.

"Real professionalism in this gripping yarn... the character of Matthew Boston would make a novel in itself." -- Irish Times

"His style is taut, dialog fresh, characters are well fleshed out and, each in his own way, vulnerable." -- Evening Press

"Frighteningly plausible... a real stunner." --- The Citizen
