Description
Can a dead man speak?
Interrogator Emma Ripley is no stranger to imminent threats against the US, but nothing could prepare her for the arrival of Georges Subdallah—the most valuable prisoner she has ever encountered.
Subdallah, once a model US citizen with a loving family, is now the world's most skilled bombmaker. Radicalized and presumed dead after orchestrating his own horrific suicide bombing, his unexpected return presents Emma with her most complex and urgent mission yet: extracting vital information from a man who has already died for his cause to prevent the largest attack in US history.
Held for years in a secret government facility, Subdallah is a shadow of his former self. Maimed and broken, his body bears the scars of his fanatical devotion. To stop the impending bloodshed, Emma must delve into his past, uncovering the events that led him to betray his country and sacrifice everything.
Bombmaker is an intelligent, heart-pounding thriller that grips you from the first page. Perfect for fans of Lehane, Grisham, and Freida McFadden, this story explores the depths of loyalty and the fine line between hero and villain.

The year is 1989
This story is a mystery, a thriller and a suspense genre story. “Bombmaker” is an absorbing and complex drama that did fantastic work in keeping my mind engaged from the opening page.
“Bombmaker” is a story of an American interrogator who seeks information on a prisoner after uncovering evidence of a major terrorist plot to kill thousands of U.S. civilians. Emma Ripley, a divorcée and single parent, gets the assignment to interrogate Georges Fadi Subdallah who had crashed his Vespa loaded with explosives at Boston’s Hancock building and survived self-immolation. Now he is in custody mangled and tight- lipped. This is a heavy book that tells us a lot. In a few words: a riveting drama about radicalization and terrorist surveillance on American soil.
Mr. Davies has crafted an intriguing and suspenseful drama filled with action. The plot tells us how U.S. born Fadi, proceeds to his planned spot and detonates himself. How he was recruited and how Marcel indoctrinated him. The narrative which weaves between Emma’s mission and Fadi’s backstory is masterful. Along the way, the author skillfully depicts Fadi’s chilling changes. I love the main characters; they have surprisingly a lot of similarity: parents who would do anything and couldn’t do enough. Emma and Fadi are complex and likeable in their own ways. The story also brings us to Boston with all its cultural diversity and rich landmarks.
In a few words:
Gripping narrative, wonderful characters and a storyline told by a master storyteller.
