Echelon

Set initially in the U.K. It all begins with the mystery woman, whose dangerous endeavors are seriously disrupted by two roughly hewn individuals, who inadvertently become entangled in her web of intrigue.
Her nemesis, Sir Adrian Woolbeck, is a high ranking British public servant, whose impeccable reputation is shattered, when caught in a lewd act with an underage boy in a railway public toilet. One discovers he is the epitome of evil; dangerous, perverted, ruthless, highly intelligent and thoroughly Machiavellian.
The story weaves into a complex tale that travels widely, with all levels of authority involved, from International Government Agencies, the Metropolitan Vice Squad, to petty criminals, all in pursuit of proof against a man, whose plans turn out to be far more sinister than any one could have imagined.
ECHELON is a Bloody Mary of a cocktail. Liberally blended with equal measures of hidden identities, secrecy and subversion. Shaken vigorously, not stirred. Chillingly embellished with a generous dash or two of gratuitous sex and violence and garnished with a little acidic humour.
