Description
This is the deadly game that the most powerful man in the world plays against his own side.
Why should the Ruler of one of the richest oil-producing countries order his own assassination?
With two million pounds in gold at stake, Charles Pol, master of intrigue, espionage and revolution doesn’t enquire too closely.
But when Nazak, the Ruler’s infamously ruthless security police suspect that it is they who are the pawns in their master’s murderous game, Pol and his accomplices find themselves ensnared in a vicious web of treachery, torture and violent death …
Through France, Switzerland and the Persian Gulf, Alan Williams weaves the most audacious assassination plot of all time. It is a sensational story of nerve-tearing suspense, torn bleeding straight out of tomorrow’s headlines …
Praise for Shah-Mak
‘Intriguing and gripping … compulsively exciting’ - Sunday Express
‘Both exciting and really convincing … fascinating. Part adventure, part thriller, part a documentary of might-have-been history, The Beria Papers is the best thing of its kind for a long time.’ - Sunday Times
‘The most interesting and original thriller since The Odessa File… a sharp and intelligent thriller that cries out for filming.’ - Daily Mail
‘Intriguing and gripping … not merely compulsively exciting entertainment, it is also so well researched and the background appears so absolutely authentic that the whole fantastic story could just be true.’ -Sunday Express
Alan Emlyn Williams (born 1935) is an ex-foreign correspondent, novelist and writer of thrillers. He was educated at Stowe, Grenoble and Heidelberg Universities, and at King's College, Cambridge where he graduated in 1957 with a B.A. in modern languages. His father was the actor and writer Emlyn Williams. Noël Coward was his godfather. His younger brother Brook (1938–2005) was also an actor.
Williams was briefly married to literary agent Maggie Noach (1949–2006) Together they compiled The Dictionary of Disgusting Facts. Journalist Philippa Toomey describes him as a "talented and funny mimic with a gift for words and a stock of tales from the shaggy Express story to the grimmer side of international journalism."
