Reviews

‘This is immensely lively fare, delivered with a skill that belies the fact that this is the author’s first novel’

Crime Time

A down-and-dirty tale of survival, a la Taken; a hi-tech corporate thriller; a ’70s style political conspiracy; a Bond-style spy drama. Thats a heady, intoxicating mix

Mystery People

‘An exciting, fast-moving conspiracy thriller in the classic Hitchcock mould’

Emlyn Rees
