DEADLY STATES REVIEWDeadly States is the latest novel from Nicolas Clark, the author of Baltic Triangle: Operation Seaforth. A narrative that weaves in countless twists and turns begins with a brief back story. We find our idealistic and maverick hero Jack Malaney undercover in the IRA at the height of the troubles. He's just helped to avert an attack and is faced with having to think fast if he is to stop his cover from being blown. Without giving too much away, his solution is typically unorthodox.Fast forward to the nineties and Jack is in South Africa not long after the transition to democracy. He's undercover at a large engineering firm and involved in the political power struggles going on there as global players attempt to 'carve up the pie' of a newly accessible South Africa. But it's not long before Jack's past experiences in Ireland come back to haunt him. He learns that an IRA delegation is on its way to South Africa to learn the art of Statesmanship from the ANC, who it turns out the IRA had previous helped train in terror tactics. Jack finds himself in the difficult position of needing to win over an old friend-turned-enemy in order to stop hardliners derailing the Irish peace process. All while he's treading the minefield of the corrupt South African political situation. Deadly States is a thrilling tale of intrigue and subterfuge but it isn't afraid to get stuck in. Clark's no nonsense style pulls no punches. From the first chapter we're straight into the action and there's no letting up. All in all, it's a cracking thriller that you won't want to put down.
