Second Strike by Mark Abernethy

When Australian spy Alan McQueen is called in to find a young Intel staffer who’s missing in Indonesia, he thinks it’s one last routine assignment before he quits the spy world and goes civvie. But the trail turns deadly and the man they call Mac finds himself unraveling a mystery that leads him to the revelation that Abu Sabaya – the terrorist he supposedly killed in ’02 – is alive and planning a huge strike, along with a rogue CIA agent. The trail twists through betrayals and moles, mercenaries and Indonesian politics to the climax in Singapore where Sabaya has a container-load of VX nerve agent sitting on a ship in the Port of Singapore. The resulting revelations about the governmental involvement in the attack are as hair-raising as Mac’s attempts to stop it.
