What is Terminal Deception about?
Terminal Deception is an espionage thriller by A.M. Khalifa about Mehtab of Birmingham, a deep-cover British intelligence officer feared inside ISIS-held Raqqa as a ruthless recruiter of British jihadis.
Raqqa, 2017. To the young Britons she recruits, Mehtab is a commander. To British intelligence, she is an officer who has lived inside her legend for so long she no longer knows where it ends.
Then Angela Morgan, the American widow of a slain ISIS commander, presses a slip of paper into her hand: a US phone number, and a message. Tell whoever answers that Jellybean is alive.
In Raqqa, contacting the outside world is punishable by beheading. Mehtab runs. And in London she learns that the people she risked everything for have been lying to her for years: about Angela, about the war she helped wage, and about a stolen American weapon called Krieger that can kill thousands without leaving a trace.
From Raqqa to London, California and the Gulf, Terminal Deception is a thriller about loyalty, identity and what a lie costs the person who has to live inside it. And for readers of Terminal Rage: Alexander Blackwell returns, and so does another face from the first book.
