Product Description:
It's one of the greatest mysteries of our time. Where is he? Where did he go after Afghanistan? How did the world's most wanted man vanish without a trace? Despite the reward of twenty-five million dollars and an exhaustive global manhunt, he has remained in hiding ever since the terrifying events of 9/11 ... at least until now.
Written in the style of the great Cold War spy novels, the adventure starts with a tip-off by a Yemeni government official. Two MI6 agents embark on a dramatic chase across the Arabian Peninsula. Hot on the heels of their high profile target, they quickly discover that nothing is what it seems. The CIA, the Yemenis, the Cubans, the Israelis and Iranian intelligence all pursue competing interests.
The suspense is heightened, as treacherous alliances lead to innocent lives being threatened. The hunters become the hunted. The plot follows their escapes through the deserts of Arabia, the warm waters of the Caribbean and the steamy Amazon jungle.
This fast-paced, entertaining read is full of spectacular settings, an assortment of carefully crafted characters and many unexpected twists and turns. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last word.

Let's cut to the chase. Did they get `em?
That's the question a potential reader of Mark McHugh's book "Most Wanted" would want to know. And if McHugh offered up a simple answer, the reader would be disappointed. He doesn't and you can bet you will get your money's worth.
Like the book describes "It's one of the greatest mysteries of our time. Where is Osama bin Laden? Where did he go after Afghanistan? How did the world's most wanted man vanish without a trace?"

Mark has written a book you'll read in one go. Well paced and with a story line that is probably not much more far fetched than real international events...
I particularly liked the descriptions of atmosphere of places where the action takes place...it shows that Mark has been there and got the essence. Also crisp short sentences. Quite international and a careful plot, at least I didn't find contradictions or an end that makes you feel that the writer ran out of steam. Do the good guys win? ... Read More

Once I started to read I couldn't stop. A book that hooked me from the beginning until the end. I read it in just one weekend. Great novel, with a lot of details that make them surprisingly interesting, for sure it will keep you at the edge of your seat. I am already waiting for the sequel with new adventures of Tom, Karin and Khalid.

Even though I've known Mark McHugh for 15 years and have always considered him an extremely intelligent individual with ample knowledge about any subject you care to discuss, his creative writing abilities were indeed a surprise for me. Mark's development of characters, description of places (all of which he has personally visited), dialogues and general story-telling magic keep your adrenalin flowing non-stop. Wow, I just couldn't put this book down!
I highly recommend it to anyone who likes ... Read More
