520			_aA Delicate Truth is a contemporary spy novel set against the backdrop of the global war on terror. A covert Anglo-American counterterrorism operation in Gibraltar, code-named Wildlife, is publicly hailed as a success. However, years later, a young Foreign Office official and a retired British diplomat uncover evidence suggesting the mission concealed political manipulation, abuse of power, and the influence of private military contractors. The novel explores themes of secrecy, government accountability, morality in intelligence work, and the consequences of political deception.
