About the Story
Summary of the Story

The story begins as our writer is talking with his agent. He gets informed about a
job that pays well and decides to apply. He gets the job as ghost writer for the “Ex”
Prime Minister Adam Lang. Accusations of Lang committing war crimes appear
and the ICC start investigating Lang. The writer gets suspicious. He does some
digging and soon enough discovers that not everything's the same as it looks.
Important moments:

Chapter 08 Lumbert Cove: The author goes digging and discovers there is a bigger
mystery to Michel’s death than it seems.

Chapter 11 Richard Rycart: The ghost writer discusses with the man accusing Lang
of committing war crimes. In their discussion they come to a conclusion Paul
Emmett is a CIA agent.

Chapter 12: A ball of fire: Lang dies as a result of


a suicide bombing.

Chapter 14: The author uncovers the truth and we


find out he is “presumably” dead if we are
reading this.
Plot Twists:

As Lang gets of the plane he is suddenly killed by a bomber.

CIA: We found out that Paul Emmett who was posing as a tutor to
Lang’s wife is secretly a CIA agent who recruits Adam’s wife ruth.

My opinion
Opinion
In my opinion this is a very good book
with good plot twists I enjoyed the part
where Lang died because I was not to
keen of him. I did not like when we find
out the main character is deceased.
