The Jackal's Share

“The novel is as much Raymond Chandler as John le Carré . . . Chris Morgan Jones has more than equaled his powerful debut.” —The Observer (U.K.)
 
A vivid and relentless tale of murderous corporate espionage, Chris Morgan Jones’s The Jackal’s Share follows the money through the rotten alleys of Marrakech and the shining spires of Dubai, revealing a Middle East as strange and raw as ever depicted. The story begins when Ben Webster, a London corporate investigator specializing in post-Soviet Russia, is hired by a wealthy Iranian philanthropist to clear his good name. Forced to investigate a man above reproach, Webster soon discovers that his master’s past is actually a dense net of interlocking half-truths. As he closes in on the reality of the Iranian’s fortune—and those who wish to destroy it—Webster learns he may pay for that knowledge with the life of his own family.
