Terrorist Partners
                      Published by Amazon/Kindle

   When a hardline cabal in Russia organises terrorist groups and criminal gangs to attack US assets in Britain and elsewhere, mayhem results. Including the use of 'suitcase' nuclear bombs.  Some clues could be on a smashed and damaged piece of a CD disc - if it can somehow be accessed. Top-ranking political double-dealing creates still more problems all round.  It takes all the resources of US and British Intelligence to crack the problems of where those nukes are hidden in the US and London.

   A second major problem is - the extent to which the Russian President was involved in the cabal.  Or did that operate entirely behind his back?
