The Vane-Martin Conundrum — Phillip Strang

The Prime Minister of Great Britain is to be assassinated â€" Frederick Vane and Andrew Martin are sure of it. Do they allow the assassination to continue? Do they tell DCI Isaac Cook? Do they inform Anne Argento? Can a policeman and a politician be trusted with the information?

A nuclear-powered submarine has been lost. A cathedral prevented from destruction at the last minute. Shopping centres and churches throughout the length of England subjected to random attacks. Patrons at public houses enjoying a quiet night's drink slaughtered.

Terrorism is destroying England. The Master, the head of the Islamic State in England is orchestrating the attacks. Durrani, the bomb maker, is giving him the weapons of destruction. Shafi, an unscrupulous drug dealer, is out on the street aiming to infiltrate the Islamic State, and the Master's daughter, the beautiful Sara, seduces her future husband, a Naval officer, and forces him to sabotage his submarine after she has inadvertently fallen in love with him.

The lead policeman, DCI Isaac Cook, and Anne Argento, the Deputy Prime Minister are heading towards a romantic entanglement where their professional proprieties conflict with their personal feelings.
