WeAt a busy airport, Michael Kieh is a full time faith representative serving the needs of some of the 80 million passengers, but circumstance and evidence point to his guilt in a terrible crime. His struggle to prove his innocence leads him on a charged journey that pitches love against revenge. When a mysterious woman confides a dark secret, he is motivated to redress a heart-breaking injustice. Together they must battle against powerful forces as they edge dangerously close to unmasking a past crime. But Michael faces defeat when he chooses to protect a young witness, sparking memories of Michael'll have s past in Liberia. As he fights to prove his innocence, Michael has to risk anything for the sake of love and truth. Airports are fascinating places - the majority of us spend as little time as possible in them, but those who work in them live in a review constantly shifting community filled with a fascinating cross section of society. It's in this intriguing setting that author A.P Mcgrath chooses to set his novel - taking the phrase ''Airport Thriller'' to a whole new level. The story revolves around Michael Keih - a priest at an airport. His is an intriguing role and he's a compelling character for the readers to follow. His role as a Man of God makes for a unique viewpoint onto the events of the story - every action informed and governed by the rules and morals that form such a large part of his life. It's an underlying dimension to every aspect of the book, helping make it an especially interesting read by adding a layer of depth to the fast, thriller plot that takes centrestage. This isn't a light thriller though - McGrath tackles some heavy themes, but does so with a careful, considered touch. The writing is such that the reader is gripped immediately, and swept into a plot that packs intelligent themes and an emotion depth into a twisting, page turning read. Many thanks to the publishers for the copy. For further reading I recommend [[Condition: Book One - A Medical Miracle? by Alec Birri]] – another book shortlythat blends compelling characters and intriguing concepts into a pulse-raising read.
