The Threat Beneath

By Ilya Meyer

Following on from where Bridges Going Nowhere left off, The Threat Beneath picks up the pace and takes the reader from Sweden to the Gaza Strip and finally to Israel. Ilya Meyer has lived extensively in both Sweden and Israel, spending many years in a kibbutz near the Gaza Strip. A lot of research has gone into the fine details of the story - people's names, roads, the inside line on the various security services involved, the technologies depicted in the book that are so crucial to the storyline. Equally, a lot of effort has gone into deliberately muddying the waters so that this element of transparency, of traceability, does not go too far and jeopardise security. Crucial details are therefore deliberately inaccurate or entirely incorrect, a figment of the author's imagination. Along with the fast pace of the action and the in-depth political analysis, Ilya Meyer brings a constant undercurrent of dry, bubbling humour in telling his tale, a down-to-earth sense of fun in the clash of personalities never designed to get on easily. Anyone who has ever fought a battle with unrelenting bureaucracy will delight in the sniping attacks of the underdog facing off against pen-pushing desk-jockeys, emperors in their own little realms of imagined power. This second book in The Hart Trilogy is both analytical and thrilling, weaving acute insight into an increasingly unsettled Sweden with fast-moving action as it becomes apparent that terrorists have the ultimate goal firmly in sight.
