Teaser Tuesday: The Spanish Revenge by Allan Topol

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This week my teaser comes from a book that has been on the review stack for quite a while—The Spanish Revenge by Allan Topol. I got this unsolicited review copy at the beginning of January. Here is the description:

In The Spanish Revenge, the follow-up to The China Gambit, Craig Page, the daring director of the European Counterterrorism Agency, is faced with a nefarious plot by Ahmed Sadi, a Muslim fanatic, to exploit the age old conflict between Christians and Muslims. Craig again teams up with the good-looking and resourceful Elizabeth Crowder in an intricate tale of deadly revenge. Ahmed joins with Craig’s nemesis General Zhou, who killed Craig’s daughter, raising the personal stakes.
