Split (Simon Abelard Mystery)

Simon Abelard -- black Oxford graduate from Cardiff's dockland -- was recruited by British intelligence to be a spy. But since the Berlin Wall came down he finds that he's working as a glorified cop. Then Abelard is given the dangerous job of "bringing back" a colleague who's changed sides. But Julian Browling has not defected to the Russians, the Chinese, or the Iraqis. Instead, he took advantage of his security service training to become a big time crook. Now, he's taken millions of dollars belonging to the crooked syndicate he helped create, and the ruthless drug dealers he robbed are after his blood. As the bodies begin to pile up, Abelard finds himself fighting not only for his own life, but for the lives of his loved ones. In the 21st century the spying game is changed forever.
