When Honey, a bright young woman from Pennsylvania, with a love of Middle-Eastern culture, and a penchant for millinery that has earned her the nickname of 'Honey the Hat' is offered a diplomatic post in the small Middle Eastern country of Dubishan, she thinks that she is about to embark upon one of the greatest adventures of her life. These adventures, however, do not take quite the form that Honey had anticipated, and she soon realises that all in this sleepy desert country is not quite as it seems. Why is the oil minister so keen to build a desalination plant in the desert? Who is the Machiavellian Karzinsky and what is he hiding? Why are obsolete weapons being shipped from the United States to Dubishan? And, can it be possible that Honey is falling in love with not one, but two men? With courage, determination, and honesty, Honey braves assassins, avalanches, and the disapproval of the United States of America, risking all for the little desert state with which she has fallen in love, and discovering along the way not only the romantic love of her life, but also a way of trading which could change the nature of capitalism, and the global economy, forever... A dramatic and absorbing thriller that captivates the reader from start to finish, personalising the politics of the oil-trade with verve, compassion and flair.
