Description
The last thing an international powder keg needs is bright spark Max Donovan…
After young and ambitious Cambridge archaeologist Hadley Holloway disappears, her uncle calls upon veteran fixer Max Donovan to find her.
Hadley had been on the hunt for a rare and valuable jewel of historical significance. When last heard from, she’d found it in North Africa.
But as soon as Donovan steps foot in Tunis, trouble begins. Arch nemesis of the West, Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi is in town and Donovan quickly gets on the wrong side of his elite, all-female personal bodyguard.
Out on a limb in the desert, battling storms of sand and bullets, sun-soaked and parched, this mission will truly test his mettle.
Only by finding friends in unexpected places will Donovan be able to bring Hadley home, but can he avoid turning a cold war scorchingly hot?
BLOOD ON THE SANDS is the fourth standalone thriller in the Max Donovan adventures series. The full list of books is as follows:
1. ONE BEATS THE BUSH
2. WITH TOOTH AND NAIL
3. THE SERPENT’S LAIR
4. BLOOD ON THE SANDS
All are available with Kindle Unlimited and in paperback, as is the author’s unputdownable standalone action thriller MURDER MOUNTAIN.

Robin P, Reviewer
It was an absolute pleasure to read this accomplished action thriller. The author's style, and the desert setting, brought back happy memories of first reading 'The Strange Land' and 'The Doomed Oasis' by Hammond Innes and 'Flyaway' by Desmond Bagley. Two authors who set conventions for the genre; their thrillers now classics.
Riall Nolan's fine attention to cultural and historical detail makes this novel particularly evocative and adds an extra layer of compelling reading.
In a world of sand and heat, Max Donovan, is paired with Nadia, one of Colonel Gaddafi's Revolutionary Nuns, now defecting; and Hadley, a Cambridge University student who has found Lord Nelson's stolen chelengk. Placed in the hostile environment of the unforgiving and desolate desert the characters are believable and sympathetic. There's plenty of action and suspense, a nice touch of humour, and some glorious Bedouin smugglers, in a fast-paced and well-executed plot.
