Critical Threat — Nick Oldham

DCI Henry Christie, taken off an anonymous murder case and transferred into a dead-end desk job, leaps at the chance to investigate the brutal killing of an ex-cop turned sleazy private eye. At first Christie thinks he will have no trouble identifying the killer, but as he investigates, he stumbles into a plot by Muslim extremists and finds himself plunged into the world of international terrorism. Christie faces his toughest challenge yet as he tries to head off one of the world's most ruthless assassins who has never yet been caught - and who has never yet missed a target.
