I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes

Fast-paced, political spy story with more intelligence than brute force; I loved it!

Author: Terry Hayes

A woman is murdered in New York and all ways to identify her have been removed. The body makes the lead officer on the scene think of a scene in a book written by a former CIA legend.

The CIA agent has gone into hiding to enjoy his retirement, but the New York police department decides to try to track him down as they desperately need his help.

We meet the young Saudi boy who has seen his own father being beheaded in public. As he grows up, he is disgusted by the way women outside of Saudi lives and he joins the Taliban.

He sets in motion a long-winded, well-planned and extremely carefully executed plan. The effects of which will be much worse than 9/11.

The second book by Hayes, called The year of the locust, is allegedly due to be released in May (hardback) and July (Kindle) 2021. Not sure why it is taking so long, but hopefully this is it!

But when a mission backfires in tragedy, the band of bikers who founded OpStar dissolves the organization and their ride-or-die friendship. Five years later Amanda, Sidney, and Cassandra are brought back together by the same thing that tore them apart when the man who victimized his wife is murdered, and all signs point to Cassandra.
