The Traitors List by Sidney Tomas

In the bleak days of the late 1930’s and with WW2 imminent, an English Industrialist plays host  to an alliance of influential businessmen, politicians, senior military figures and one mystery guest.  An enigmatic  Austrian aristocrat  outlines a sinister and a far reaching plan that will see a defeated Germany and financially ruined British Empire rise from the ashes to once again rule the World. Financed by the spoils of war, disciples of this new world order  will infiltrate industry, government , commerce and the military.

Seven decades later and a simmering division is building within the population of the United Kingdom . The populist and divisive leader of the  GBLP Clive Bousefield supported by senior business leaders and members of the Government, , is  whipping up hatred towards  the European Union . A proliferation in terrorist attacks on the UK mainland gifts an opportunity for the anti-European camp to condemn the UK Prime Minister David Milner, and further divide the electorate over EU immigration policies.

In what will be a  conclusive and bold move to seize power the clandestine brotherhood plan a world shattering event, the assassination of the UK Premier and the President of the United States. They commission the services of  covert journeyman, a killer to not only carry out the heinous act but to also detonate a dirty bomb in London.
