The Gulf

By Noel Scanlon

An Irish couple, David and Deborah, working in the Gulf state of Khor Fahal, are caught up in the chaos of a revolution. When David is kidnapped, Deborah, isolated on the wrong side of the creek, has to fend for herself in a situation where it is dangerous for a European woman to venture out alone. But she must attempt to locate where David is held.

In The Gulf Scanlon tells a gripping tale of plotting, intrigue and revolution with all the heat, intensity and inflamed passions of the Middle East.
