A Delicate Truth
First published 2013
On Gibraltar, a British minister authorises a covert operation with private contractors to capture a suspected terrorist. The mission is declared a success, and the officials involved are rewarded or quietly reassigned.
Years later, evidence reaches Foreign Office employee Toby Bell that the operation killed innocent people and was concealed. Bell and former diplomat Kit Probyn must decide whether to protect their careers or challenge a system designed to bury responsibility.
