Dream of Darkness — Patrick Ruell

A father and daughter are pursued by a dark past in this British spy thriller by an author who “never fails to shock and surprise” (Ian Rankin).
 
Nigel Ellis lost his wife over a decade ago in Uganda. He is remarried now, and his grown daughter, once plagued by nightmares, has finally gotten over the trauma of her mother's death -- or so it seems. Nigel has decided to write a memoir about his time in Britain's security service -- and he intends to include some explosive details about the country's secret connections to the brutal dictator Idi Amin and behind-the-scenes corruption.
 
But there are some who are desperate to prevent his book from ever seeing the light of day -- and now his family may be in lethal danger once again . . .
 
This nerve-jangling thriller from a Diamond Dagger winner is a dark, action-packed look at the lives of those involved in espionage and the people caught in the cross fire -- guilty and innocent alike.
