(PRWEB) September 11, 2005 -- Hailed in advance critical reviews as a classic page turner" and very quick-paced . . . a huge puzzle that keeps us on edge," the debut thriller A Foreign Policy" by Richard Graham-Yooll is the story of Guy Sinclair, a Boston insurance executive who faces beheading in Saudi Arabia when caught between international fraud and local insurgency. With Saudi Arabia fighting internal unrest, the US government believes the execution of its citizen may win popularity for its allys beleaguered regime. Kamila, an attractive Arab-American academic conducting her own political investigation into the funding of Saudi insurgency, becomes convinced of Sinclairs innocence and plots his escape. Though suspecting her of a terrorist connection, he soon has no choice but to accept her help. He and Kamila race to a border which is about to close when Saudi Arabia erupts into revolution. Pursued by the FBI, the CIA and a financial network based in London, they follow a trail which leads uncomfortably close to home.
