The Pope is visiting the UK. All is going well until a death threat is received from a previously unknown organisation. Meanwhile, a small, anti-religion organisation is bombed, resulting in the deaths of all members - with the exception of one.
The Hunter Group, a top secret security agency, are called in to ensure the safety of the Pope. Jeremy Hunter, the agency's director, immediately calls in his top agent, Graham Chapman, to investigate the death threat. Graham, who has never wanted to be a secret agent, reluctantly agrees. This, he is determined, will be his final mission.
During the next fifteen hours, Graham chases several leads, none of which get them any closer to the truth. Meanwhile, someone has kidnapped the Pope, and no-one knows where he is...
Will the Pope survive his trip to the UK? Will the Hunter Group get the bottom of the plot? Will they discover who is trying to kill the Pope? Will Graham stay the course?
The Chicken Shak Spy is the first gripping novel in the Chicken Shak Spy series from Simon Lucas.
The Story Behind This Book
Ever wondered if one of your friends is actually a spy? I did! He claimed to deliver chicken for a living, but I could not believe that this is actually what he did all day. Perhaps this was just a cover, and he was actually a spy! Taking this as my starting point, Graham Chapman, the Chicken Shak Spy evolved. Like my friend, he tells people he's a chicken delivery guy, but actually he is a secret agent employed by a top secret private security company. Have you ever felt stuck in a job? Perhaps you've really wanted to give it all up and do something different. Graham Chapman is the same. He's never wanted to be a spy, and is fed up with the grief he gets from his colleagues. Unfortunately, he feels indebted to his boss, who saved his life, and can't bring himself to walk away. Do you find yourself wondering what is going on behind the scenes when a high profile visitor arrives in your country? What if a group wants to kill him? What if the people in the group actually have a convincing reason for wanting him dead? This was the final idea behind the plot for The Chicken Shak Spy. The members of the group in question will stop at nothing to kill the Pope, but not for the reasons that you might think... The Chicken Shak Spy has been getting rave reviews from everyone who has read it. It's been compared to the work of Dan Brown, Lee Child and John Grisham. If you enjoy a good thriller, you'll love The Chicken Shak Spy!
