4. Puzzle Piece

Secret agent or fantasist?

Jim Swire first met David BenAryeah at a gathering of the Lockerbie relatives in 1989. BenAryeah soon began passing him secret files from classified sources. So where did he get this information from and who was BenAryeah really?

It’s not just BenAryeah who emerged as a mysterious figure in this case, there’s another mysterious character Myles wants to find out more about.

Was Abdul Majid Giaka, aka Puzzle Piece, a double agent or a fantasist?

Myles manages to get hold of secret cables between Giaka and his CIA handler which sheds fresh light on what Giaka really knew.
