Playing with Cobras


Craig Thomas

It was to be a small and simple task, a matter of two or three days – something Patrick Hyde could do by stopping over in Delhi on his way back to Australia. All he had to do was to make certain that Philip Cass, to whom he owed his life, really had murdered the film-star wife of an Indian Cabinet Minister. Once the truth was established, Cass could be conveniently forgotten by British Intelligence and the government.

But Cass protests his innocence, and claims he was framed. The dead woman’s husband is a drug-smuggler. Hyde’s problem is that he believes Cass… and nothing is simple any longer. When the drug-smuggler becomes Prime Minister and Cass conveniently disappears, Hyde finds himself involved – unofficially – in the most dangerous game of his long career. He must play with men as deadly as cobras for the highest stakes – the future of India itself. – book cover.
