Ian Vaughan. Family man... once. Now recruited to the SIS and fresh out of training, his first field op looks to be almost a breeze. His assignment sounds highly achievable - a mission to befriend a charismatic politician who, in the wake of the failed Arab Spring, has conceived a unification plan for the North African oil and gas producing nations. Western governments welcome the plan, but other forces are at work... A conference to present the plan is to be held on the beautiful island of Madeira and Vaughan, using the cover of a maritime author, is dispatched to the island, assisted by the Royal Navy. En route, he rescues a boy adrift on a sailboard and comes into contact with his widowed mother who is host to her Brazilian uncle, unaware that his entire ambitions could destroy the European economy. Greed and death lay in the shadows as Vaughan finds himself embroiled in conspiracy and danger, challenging both his judgement and his courage. The third book in the Vaughan series, Shadows in Sunshine continues the thrilling pace of its predecessors and charts the waters of international espionage with poise and finesse.
