Short
Summary of the book:
This book tells of spying and intrigue.
Turkey is considered a loose cannon and NATO conspires to expel Turkey from the
alliance. To further this aim, they light little fires of discontent within the
borders of the country in an attempt to reveal the leader’s true nature and
gain the right to expel the country. We follow friends and CIA operatives as
they work together to achieve this goal. A goal which isn’t reached without
losses.

Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
I believe this is a stand-alone but the book
would lend itself to becoming a series.

books could this be compared to and why?
Although completely different, it did remind
me of the Jack Reacher series.

Description by Author:
Turkey has been a member of NATO since 1952.
In recent years, the nation has distanced itself from the West and become a
loose cannon. Calls are immediately made for Turkey’s expulsion but the
alliance is unwilling to lose the Bosporus Strait. Before the North Atlantic
alliance can evict Ankara, they must take something from them first.
