The construction of three new liquefied natural gas plants in Central Queensland throws a spotlight on the industry, and sees Australia overtake Qatar as the world's number one exporter of LNG. While Qatar struggles to regain its crown and other countries vie for a share of the burgeoning LNG market, a tanker is sunk in the Philippine Sea north of Papua New Guinea. Believing an international cartel is responsible for the attack on the tanker and that Australia's LNG plants could be under threat, the CIA turns to NatSec for on-site assistance. With little to go on, Modeen's team is deployed as undercover operatives. Their assignment: gather what intel they can, and suspect everyone. Who is masterminding this industrial sabotage? How far will the saboteurs go to win a share of the lucrative market? What - or who - will be their next target? MODEEN: FLASHPOINT is the 8th book in the high-action Jo Modeen series. The stories in this series can stand alone but are best enjoyed when read in sequence.
