A stunning and powerful book-Lyntton's Jack Steele takes the reader into the dangerous territory of political violence, leading him into a nightmarish choice between saving the lives of strangers and his personal fight for survival and those he loves. Emotion and thought-provoking. You won't want to put it down! -SOPHIE JENKINS, author of A Random Act of Kindness and The Forgotten Guide to Happiness With the wholesale political havoc and chaos at work in today's world, I guessed that digging into an international political thriller would be anti-climactic. I was wrong. As soon as I started reading North Korea Deception by the skillful novelist and actor Richard Lyntton, I easily got into the head of Jack Steele and was swept up in the terror and intrigue that Steele finds himself immersed in. Jack Steele's a powerful character you won't soon forget, and North Korea Deception provides world-class entertainment that comes with a powerful message about how vulnerable we are to the political aspirations of nations that don't have our best interests at heart. -FRANK FREUDBERG, author of Gasp, Find Virgil, and Baby Please Don't Go

The dangers and plot twists that follow arrive as fast and non-stop as a Sochi slalom run throughout this political action thriller. And the questions become how will Steele be able to save those around him as well as himself in the midst of the complicated web of Russian, UK, North Korean, US, and terrorist intrigues. Lyntton seasons the tale with romance, love, family, and even some mysterious spirituality. But the heart of the story is about trust and the challenge of doing right in the face of corruption.
