The Conspiracy Theorist

Indian businessman Sunny Prajapati goes missing while sailing alone in the English Channel. Retired admiral Sir Simeon Marchant is blamed for selling the boat to an inexperienced yachtsman. Marchant contacts Becket, a legal investigator, to look into the case. But Marchant is murdered before they can meet. Becket is commissioned by Marchant's daughter to recover payment for the yacht. In doing so he unearths a conspiracy that goes to the heart of government and brings home to Becket some painful truths about his own past.

Set in the summer of 2013 during the Snowden crisis and the establishment of the UK National Crime Agency, The Conspiracy Theorist looks at the nature of betrayal and how certain events during the Cold War and post 9/11 are still playing out today.
