The Identity Factor
"Ludlumesque"
"I was thrilled to have my novel receive such consistently high recognition,"
The novel is also being adapted as a feature film after the author’s successful U.S. launch as an official satellite event at the prestigious G’day USA 2008 festivities in Los Angeles, sponsored in part by Qantas and Jacob’s Creek. In addition, the author’s website was recently awarded the honour of permanent placement in the National Library of Australia’s “PANDORA Archive” (http://pandora.nla.gov.au/
Set in Texas, romantic Cairo, Jerusalem, Washington, and San Francisco, The Identity Factor opens with the 1919 discovery of an ancient Egyptian tablet in the Sinai Peninsula, only to disappear then reappear in modern-day Cairo, where it becomes the centerpiece in an elaborate change-of-identities scheme by the phantom terrorist, Abu Nazer. Hot on Abu Nazer’s trail, however, is rookie profiler Zoë Gustaves. But Zoë soon finds unexpected antagonism from – and attraction to – charming Texas journalist, Rutherford Tyler. And the deeper Zoë digs for answers about Abu Nazer’s identity, the more she finds those around her are not who they seem.
"Expertly executed, taut, [and] smart, The Identity Factor is a wonderfully old-fashioned suspense thriller that works. It is the kind of complex book writers supposedly don't write anymore" (Stephen Davenport, The Independent Weekly).
