Beginning in November 2001 just after the events of 9/11, The Suicide Bomber takes the reader on a terrifying but fascinating journey following the lives of its two main protagonists, Jim Barker and Tom Collins. Jim Barker is a twenty year old white, upper middle-class university student who, after attending a talk on Islam held at his college, becomes interested in and later a zealous convert of a fundamentalist group of Islamic extremists. He is hand-picked to become one of six suicide bombers charged with carrying out deadly explosions at six of the busiest London Underground stations as a macabre celebration of the 9/11 attacks in the United States.
Tom Collins, a veteran MI5 operative, receives a hand delivered letter warning him of the impending murderous plot. With few specific facts to go on and very little time in which to find out the information that could immobilize the attack, Collins and his team are stretched to their limits.
Collins finally gets the break he needs but fate deals him a harsh hand and he becomes involved in a cat and mouse game with unthinkable human costs at stake. And time is not on his side......
