Description

Following the success of No Immunity and A Game That Must Be Lost, Unauthorised Action is the final instalment in Alan Hunt’s fast-paced thriller series. In the wake of terrorist attacks in London, the Foreign Office is shocked by the murder of the beautiful young diplomat, Kate Thomas. 
Immediately her colleague, Adam White, falls under suspicion. Adam’s fiancée, Alison, believes in his innocence, but in the bid to clear his name Adam faces a wall of secrecy from officials engaged in a covert operation. Defying his superior’s instructions, Adam pursues a lead to Madrid, where he identifies the man he believes to be Kate’s murderer. Soon others fall victim to the killer, as he prepares for an audacious assassination attempt in London. But who is the target of the attack? And who is aiding the terrorists? In a violent and shocking climax, the terrorists strike, the assassin breaks cover and the traitor is finally unmasked. 
Alan Hunt once again keeps the reader guessing until the last page in this, the final book in the Adam White trilogy.

Advance Praise

So well written! So exciting - could not put it down! Please write more! - Mrs C Ruth B Rollitt

The last and best of Alan Hunt's Foreign Office trilogy though just as easily read as a one-off book. His long diplomatic career clearly enhances the thriller's realism (minus, one hopes, the murders!) An excellent read and warmly recommended. - Alan Orbell

Read at one sitting. Gripping; page-turning; convincing. A fine last of the thrilling trilogy, as well, cleverly, as a very good read on its own. That said, the loose ends are handsomely secured. The book deserves great success, and I am confident it will have that. (The cover also is another good one). - C J Rufus

A super final installment in Hunt's foreign office trilogy. Works well as a "stand alone" if you haven't read the first 2. - Greg Davis

The young diplomat. Kate Thomas has been murdered. Adam White is suspected of her murder. The police don't seem to want to look any further. At the same time there are terrorists threats that Adam is trying to uncover. Lots of intrigue going on with double spying in the diplomatic office in Madrid. Adam is sure Kate found something there and he is trying to expose those involved. The President of Iraq is coming so he is believed to be the target. Can Adam find Kate's murderer and unravel the plot before he is put in jail? His fiance is doubting him and he does not have time to explain it all to her. The more he finds the more bodies show up. In the end it will all come together. Great read.
