Peter Holmes, leader of Action 4 England, and his deputy, Tommy James, recruit one of their members to set off a bomb on a train carrying delegates to the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester - making it appear to be an Islamic terrorist attack.

Michelle Hartley has been working in Dubai but is travelling to Manchester to take up a new Project Manager role.

Glen Hargreaves is Australian; having delivered a yacht from the Caribbean to UK, he is visiting the Northwest to see where his family originated.

Jeff Shaw is transgender; he's been looking for a way of transitioning without causing financial problems for his family. He is travelling to Manchester to spend the weekend as his alter ego, Yvette.

When the bomb explodes, the train derails and Glen and Michelle are fatally injured. Neither has family or friends to miss them and Jeff realises this is his opportunity for his male identity to be 'killed' in the accident and for him to reappear as Michelle.

But where did Michelle's substantial bank balance come from - and will it bring consequences in the future?

Can Holmes and James get away with blaming an Islamic group for the bombing - or will Khalid Ali of the Habbani Intelligence Service discover the truth and bring them to justice?

Industry Reviews

Goodreads 5 star

From the first chapter you want to know more; what will happen to the disparate group of travellers who find themselves on a train targeted by far-right terrorists? Will the bombers pay for their crimes or will they carry on getting away with it? What lengths will counterterrorism forces go to catch them? And one survivor in particular... what will their future hold?

It's a suspense-filled read, with a compelling and complex plot which I can't even begin to explain without spoilers.

What I liked most, though, was the way we learnt so much about Michelle, the main protagonist, as she navigates her way through a new life. I love the way Helen Dale gets under the skin of her characters, making Imposter a book to be enjoyed on many levels.

Loved it - a cracking read.

Amazon
