Beyond the Spring

When one man speaks, very few listen.

When a nation speaks the world holds its breath.

It has been 5 years since the start of the Arab spring. Events that certainly changed the Landscape of the Middle East and had consequences for those people who live there.

This book is a must read story based on true events of how the ripples were felt across the whole world in one way or another.

Of how Governments are corrupt and will stop at nothing to get what they want.

On the 17th December 2010 an act of self- immolation on a Tunisian street ignites the Arab spring creating a ripple of uncertainty that has a profound effect on ordinary people across the world.

It is 18 months later and during a visit to an English city library, Oliver Davis a terminally ill 5 year old boy is abducted from his father. Wyre Davis is a doctor whose expertise requires him to work in troubled regions, in this case the Middle East, for the organisation called Medecins Sans Frontieres. Wyre soon understands that this is no ordinary abduction as there is no ransom note and no demands.

The situation soon spirals out of control as Wyre begins to realise the only person who is capable of helping him, detective Alex Richards, is not all what he seems. On helping the doctor, detective Richards has to confront his own dark past and knows both himself and Wyre are not going to like what he finds.

As each Middle Eastern Government comes under more pressure from their own people on the streets, Alex Richards and Wyre Davis come to terms with the fact that the abductors of Oliver are nearer to home than they first thought and the reasons for his disappearance become darker than they could ever imagine.

As the clock ticks and time runs out, so does hope.
