Daneland’s Back is a light hearted, adult, thriller - with a sharp edge!
Anthony Daneland runs a deniable team for the British Secret Services. Following the election of a new government in the UK based on open and fair actions at home and abroad, he expects to be on garden leave for a long time.
Mandelavria is a breakaway state formed out of southern Ukraine and a semi independent part of Moldova. The majority of its peoples are ethnic Mandels, related to the Finns and Hungarians. They are pushing hard for recognition by the EU. France is doing everything it can to help them, the UK is against recognition.
When the Mandel Royalist Organisation, the MRO, is implicated in terrorist acts in the UK there is a problem. The UK has no formal relations with Mandelavria, the new PM’s rules forbid the normal types of Secret Service activity, so an “Off Sheet” project is needed and Daneland is brought back into action.
He builds a team of former players, including international escort Hawney McBabe and financier Richard Gozard, adds some new faces and pursues Mandel activity in the ex-pat community in Paris and, of course, in Mandelavria. The more he and his team find out the less it makes sense. Further activities in the UK, and a summit on Mandelavria chaired by the PM really put the pressure on them to find and neutralise the threat.
But what is the real nature of the threat? Follow Daneland’s team to the strange conclusion.
Enjoy the humour and thrills, and weep at the tragedies.
