A.J. Quinnell — the pseudonym of the acclaimed author behind Man on Fire — delivers a masterclass in suspense, weaving intelligence operatives, religious fanaticism, and Cold War power plays into a single, explosive narrative. The novel presents a world where the manipulation of faith becomes the ultimate weapon, and where Western intelligence agencies scramble to contain a force that cannot be rationalised or controlled. Gripping and unnervingly prescient, it stands as one of Quinnell's most ambitious and thought-provoking works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887994024155,"sku":"2026100006478-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ea8e029f-c57d-4238-a0dc-8055db8fc065.png?v=1781751804","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006478-secondhand-the-mahdi","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
