Conduct Becoming: A Radek Król Thriller

By Joe Daniel

A bombing in Rome's Piazza Navona by 'Inghimasi' - Abu Bakr-Al Baghdadi's and DAISH's/ISIS's suicide fighters leads to Poland's Counter Intelligence in particular suspecting the support of third parties in such terrorists making landfall in the European Union undetected and then to their predetermined targets. The fear or threat of a series of similar attacks across other EU Capitals and major cities leads to an 'off books' mission to establish whether such events are aimed at destabilising Western Politics and Democracy with the Electorates. A conspiracy of disruption hatched by the Russian Federation utilising the criminal services of the Ukrainian MAFIA for money and Al Baghdadi's DAISH/ISIS 'Inghimasi' as dogmatic believers ready to blow themselves up without a second thought.Mukachevo, in South West Ukraine, proves to be just a staging post in the Inghimasi's journey from Syria but with Russian GRU Spetsnaz operatives running protection and the MAFIA accommodation/paperwork/transport. The Western Agents terminate the next terrorist threat in the snow filled foothills of the Carpathian Mountains and gather the important proof that Western Intelligence had been seeking of the Russian Federation's involvement. However the Agents escape is rather compromised by the rescue of a group of 'sex trafficked' young women destined for the Mafia's European brothels. A chase across South West Ukraine with pursing Russians and Mafiosi has the Agents with the young women looking to cross into Poland, and safety, through the vast Natural Forests between Ukraine and Poland. This forces an overnight stop in Uzhgorod during which time a MAFIA run nightclub is destroyed and a laptop taken containing, as it subsequently turned out, vital documentary evidence of institutional corruption in Poland and other EU Countries. GRU's Spetsnaz cell in Krakow is activated to trap the escaping agents and rescued women in the National Park between them and their colleagues who are in hot pursuit. Their mission from GRU Moscow Central Command is to kill and destroy any evidence of the Russian Federation acting as puppet-master and to execute both the Agents and the young women - no survivors. The intervention of a Polish Special Forces team prevents the trap being closed but not before one of the agents suffers a serious head injury from a pursuing Spetsnaz soldier's bullet and 3 of the young women are actually killed from such fire.A high level Ministerial Meeting at Poland's Counter Intelligence and Special Forces building in Warsaw sets the stage as to freezing the MAFIA's bank deposits across the EU, to arresting those people either in the pay of the Russian Federation or MAFIA, to raiding and closing down the MAFIA's Polish based businesses arresting all those present, and to taking simultaneously overt action in Ukraine to destroy the majority of this criminal organisation's cash generative businesses. The intent is to cripple the Ukrainian MAFIA financially apart from putting its workforce in jail wherever it was operating in the EU but without breaching the Rule of Law.Romantic Interest is provided by a desirable and very attractive MI6 agent who is completely smitten by a highly decorated Polish Officer and this is also weaved into the story which is really about 'Good' overcoming 'Evil' and 'Duty and Honour' before self with of course a day of reckoning for those who have traded in deception, betrayal, and corruption.The ending is about 'Love and Happiness' in a magical Springtime Setting.The timeline is from early December 2018 until Easter Saturday 20th April 2019.
