Lines of Conscience (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473754211)

Lines of Conscience is a gripping debut thriller by Christopher J. Minchin that plunges readers into the heart of the conflict in Ukraine. The story follows Taras Shevchenko, a humble truck mechanic in Belarus, who witnesses a massive military buildup that he knows is a precursor to a brutal invasion. Driven by a desperate need to secure a future for his wife and daughters, Taras makes a fateful decision to contact British Intelligence, crossing a line from which there is no return.

As Taras's information reaches the shadowed corridors of MI6 in London, agents Michael Thornton and Ana Kozlovsky are dispatched on a high-stakes mission into the heart of Ukraine. Meanwhile, in Moscow, Oleg-a high-ranking Russian officer-wrestles with his own conscience as the realities of the war begin to tear at the fabric of his family and his country. When the paths of a Belarusian informant, a Russian officer, and Western intelligence agents collide, the result is a harrowing journey of courage, betrayal, and the search for truth in the darkest of times.

Lines of Conscience is more than just a military thriller; it is an intimate exploration of the impossible choices ordinary people make under unimaginable pressure. From the cold forests of the borderlands to the quiet suburbs of England, this novel explores the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope. Perfect for fans of realistic international espionage and contemporary geopolitical drama, this volume marks the arrival of a significant new voice in global fiction.
