Thursday at Noon Book Tour
Cairo,
1962. Richard Thomson is already having a very bad day when someone leaves a
corpse lying on his back steps. Its head had been lopped off like a ripe melon,
left on the top step where it could look down at itself. Thomson is a burned
out CIA Agent and the body belongs to Mahmoud Yussuf, a petty Cairo thief who
tried to sell him photographs of a long-abandoned RAF base in the Egyptian
desert. What the photos have to do with a dead Israeli Mossad agent, Nazi
rocket scientists, the fanatical Muslem Brotherhood, and two missing Egyptian
tank regiments could start the next Arab-Israeli War. Alone and on the run, no
one believes Thomson’s answers -- not the CIA, the US Ambassador, Colonel Ali
Rashid of Egyptian State Security, and most assuredly not Captain Hassan Saleh,
of the Homicide Bureau of the Cairo Police.
Like Night of the Generals, this is a murder mystery wrapped inside an international crisis. Tick Toc, Tick Tock! Something is about to blow up in Thomson’s face at Noon on Thursday.

My Review
This
was a great story, a little on the descriptive side. But once you work your way past that, it
becomes an excellent spy novel. Many
parts of it reminded me of the author Robert Ludlum, one of my favorite
authors. The plot was so interesting; it
kept me reading to see if Thomson would be able to save anyone and if anyone
would believe his seemingly farfetched story.
If they do, can they stop this tragedy before it’s too late? This book had everything a good spy novel
needs, spies, traitors, danger, mystery and intrigue. If you like works by Robert Ludlum, you will
quickly fall in love with Thursday at Noon.
Thursday at Noon will be free on Amazon August 17-19, be sure to get your copy here.
