Fifty Years After - David S. Britton

It is August 2012. The Stewart Gang trials are over. Most of the gang members are behind bars and their leader, Lord Philip Stewart, is dead, hanged by his fellow prisoners during a riot. Julia Donaldson’s police team have brought all the gang’s police and political protectors to book – except one, the Prime Minister, Sir Marcus Greenway. Julia confronts him with the evidence against him and he agrees to resign.

Now a race against time begins as his enemies close in on Sir Marcus – the Police who want to arrest and charge him, the Jihadists who want to assassinate him, a survivor of the Stewart Gang who wants to kill him, and a determined reporter who wishes to expose him and his family as being involved in corruption. Facing this threat, the politicians around Sir Marcus and the Greenway family circle the wagons.

But – is this enough to protect the Prime Minister as the western World comes under a sustained terrorist assault by the Jihadists inspired by their leader, code named Asif? And all the time the niece of Philip Stewart is busy resurrecting the Stewart gang under her leadership, hotly pursued by Julia and her team. Will Julia find Elizabeth Stewart and will the Intelligence Community find and eliminate Asif before either can do real harm? And what will happen to Sir Marcus Greenway?
