Iron Lady: A Biographical Thriller

The Story

She is one of the most powerful women in the free world. But on a crisp fall evening, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's biggest threat comes not from the military might of a foreign power, but from a group of assassins intent on her death.The assassination fails, though just barely, and Trent Stanford, a Scotland Yard special agent, is ordered to find those responsible. At all costs. But even Trent doesn't suspect the lengths to which these men will go. Ultimately, his search will bring him face-to-face with one of the world's deadliest assassins, a lone woman who's been hired by the IRA. Her plan, which will allow her to penetrate the ring of security surrounding Thatcher, hinges on a kidnapped six-year-old Chicago boy. But she doesn't count on the boy's mother, Jessica, as she searches for her son, nor does she anticipate the alliance that forms between Jessica and Trent as they conspire to catch a killer.In the grand tradition of Frederick Forsyth and Ken Follett, newcomer Stephen Forest has crafted an ingenious, satisfying, rocket-ride of a thriller.
