The Jonas Trust Deception (A Thomas Gunn Thriller) - Featured Book
by AFN CLARKE
Rated 4 1/2 Stars
The Jonas Trust Deception, another Thomas Gunn thriller by bestselling author AFN Clarke, follows The Orange Moon Affair, a "hard to put down", "5-star novel by a 5-star author". Thomas (ex-Special Forces) goes on high alert after a desperate message from his journalist friend, Morgan. She's in danger. But where? And why? Rushing to her ranch he finds it being torn apart by a highly-trained female assassin of East European descent, with a mysterious butterfly tattoo on her neck. An image that sends his mind reeling. Dread seeping into his soul.
In her ongoing investigations, Morgan may have uncovered something even more explosive and far-reaching than the Orange Moon conspiracy. If so, her enemies will want both her and her information destroyed. Racing to follow tangled leads, Thomas and his girlfriend Julie are thrust into the deadly path of Mexican drug cartels, corrupt politicians, unscrupulous financial brokers like Jonas T Purdue, the FBI, the UK intelligence services and their arch nemesis Marika Keskküla. What deception binds these unlikely "players" together? What's their power struggle really about? And even more personally disturbing, why the constant links back to a secret mission in Afghanistan, that Thomas has tried so hard to forget?
Outraged by the feeling of constantly being "played", Thomas decides to turn the tables on the faceless "puppeteers" by taking an action so bold, so dangerous, and so unexpected, that even his team fear he's lost his mind. Has he? Or can he expose the "vermin" at the top and finally eliminate them forever?

Meet AFN Clarke
Apart from my many lives as a racing car driver, Captain in Britain's elite Parachute Regiment, screenwriter, pilot, yacht skipper, and proud father of four daughters I've lived in Hong Kong, India, Libya, Iran, the UK, USA, Australia and travelled extensively. Favorite things to do? Write, sail, listen to opera, rock music, cook gourmet meals, drink wine, have heated discussions and travel off the beaten path.
Having had a near death experience, lost half my insides and made it back from the trauma of war, all I can say is that tends to change how a person looks at life and maybe in a strange way it's made me a better writer. For me - and I suspect for most of my readers - good books are a great way to shut out every day life, suspend normal ways of thinking, and allow yourself to be transported to another world. I love a good story, enjoy laughing out loud, being challenged by thought provoking ideas, sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation of what's to come and the thrill of unexpected endings. And so I hope that's what my readers get - the thrill, suspense, drama, intrigue, humour, mystery, danger, poignancy, love and laughter of life seen through different eyes.
Books include CONTACT, THE ORANGE MOON AFFAIR and THE JONAS TRUST DECEPTION (the first and second books in the Thomas Gunn thriller series), AN UNQUIET AMERICAN, THE BOOK OF BAKER SERIES (Dream from the Death Age; Armageddon; Genesis Revisited-due 2014), DRY TORTUGAS and COLLISIONS.

Like The Orange Moon Affair...a fantastic, all-absorbing read...classy, complex and cunningly compelling. - Thalia
Edge of your seat material. AFN Clarke is a powerful force in the thriller genre... - John Staughton
AFN Clarke...knows what he is about ...a master builder of tense thrillers that involve constant input of questions that plead to be answered, but Clarke has the gift of pulling the reader in so perilously close that letting slip even the slightest hint of 'aha!' is left to the very last moments of his book. - Grady Harp
