BAPTISM

Thriller

Baptism is a tense and claustrophobic contemporary thriller that explores issues of terrorism, religious fundamentalism and government conspiracy.

 

The London Underground is one of the most iconic rail networks in the world. More than three million passengers use it every day. In addition to its primary transport function, it has also played host to murders, fires, crashes and most recently, attacks by fundamentalist suicide bombers. To the list of Underground nightmares there must now be added a new one: hijack.

 

When an armed gang hijacks a packed London tube train and parks it in a tunnel deep beneath the West End, the authorities are thrown into a state of panic. With hundreds of hostages on the train, the stage is set for a scary and nerve-shredding read. Detailed synopsis and first half of the book available.

 

Although not yet published, Baptism was recently selected from thousands of novels across europe to be one of ten that were presented at the "Books at Berlinale" event at the Berlin Film Festival.
