About the Book

Comfortable in the highly-paid world of the City of London, Rafi Khan is a successful fund manager, but his life changes forever when a nearby police station is bombed and three policemen are killed. Convincing evidence, coupled with Rafi's race and religion, link him directly to the suicide bomber. While Rafi maintains his innocence; MI5 interrogators are convinced of his guilt and are spurred on by senior politicians, who want a high profile and speedy conviction. Just as he fears that no one will believe him or even listen, an apparently unrelated piece of information comes to the attention of the City of London police. Detective Inspector Kate Adams and her team from the City's economic crime unit gain access to Rafi and soon realize that this information is the key to a terrorist plot which threatens the financial markets. Together with her team, Kate and Rafi soon find themselves involved in the adrenaline filled world of counter-terrorism. Working against powerful vested interests and no longer sure who they can trust - they face a race against time to unravel an intricate conspiracy. The stakes are high. The terrorists have a score to settle with the British Government and have invested years in careful planning. In their sights is the weakened UK economy. And a multi-billion pound pay-off. "Latent Hazard: On the Edge" is a revised version of "Latent Hazard", Piers Venmore-Rowland's debut novel, in which those parts of the original book relating to matters financial have been simplified and shortened.
