Mindful Deception
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
Teya, a wheelchair-bound Sprex Intelligence operative is tracking the elusive accomplices of the 1996 Al-Khobar bombing. For her, it is personal.
Jonathan and Laura Andrews, university professors are making wine at home, a hobby which is illegal. Corazón, the beloved Filipina au pair of the Andrews family, helps with the wine making process. Jonathan enters his wine in a world contest,masterminding a secret route to deliver samples to Europe.
Hamza al Khamis (HK), a Saudi Intelligence officer, is lurking. HK is unaware that Teya is also trailing him in connection with her investigation. HK, a desert fox, proves to be hard to catch.
The lives and missions of these people and their entourage will intersect, colliding in unpredictable circumstances, in a land with harsh rules and an even harsher weather.
No one ends up unscathed.
