Praise for Smokescreen: Khaled Talib's novel Smokescreen is a cocktail of Deighton, Ludlum, Hitchcock, and two parts adrenaline. - Keith Thomson, author of the New York Times Bestselling novel Once A Spy "Devious! Diabolical! Lurid! Intelligent and deftly plotted. Pick it up if you dare. Put it down if you can." - Ruth Harris, million-copy New York Times bestselling co-author of Hooked and Brainwashed In this action-packed thriller, Khaled Talib explores the little known relationship between Singapore and Israel, spinning a web of international intrigue that expands across the globe as inexorably as it tightens around his protagonist's throat. - Jon McGoran, author of Drift I have published two novels set in the police and security services in Singapore, and I am here to tell you that SMOKESCREEN is nearer to the truth of that closely controlled little country than you might believe. It is a gripping and creepy tale of how governments can rig the way we all see the world. - Jake Needham, author of The Umbrella Man and The Ambassador's Wife
