Coup d'Etat is a thriller in the Dewey Andreas series. Dewey has settled in rural Australia, far from the forces he once fought, and hopes for a quiet and obscure life. Powerful men who want revenge track him down, and he has to fight for his life against a well-armed group of assassins.
Meanwhile a radical cleric wins the presidency of Pakistan and quickly sets off a conflict with India. The crisis escalates so fast that the region moves close to a nuclear response, with grim consequences for the wider world. The President sends in a team of agents, including Jessica Tanzer, to restore the fragile peace.
Tanzer's only realistic option is a coup in Pakistan, and she wants Dewey to lead the team attempting it against the clock. The story runs on that race: can Jessica reach Dewey in time, and can he get out of Australia alive? It will appeal to readers who like fast-paced political action.
