"Simon Kernick is an absolute master of the adrenaline-fuelled ride" - PETER JAMES

The new high-octane thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author Simon Kernick
________________________

Alastair Sheridan has it all. Wealth, good looks, a beautiful wife and children and, in the chaotic world of British politics, a real chance of becoming Prime Minister.

But Alastair also has a secret. He’s a serial killer with a taste for young women.

Only a handful of people know what kind of monster he is, and disgraced detective Ray Mason is one of them.

Awaiting trial for murder, Ray is unexpectedly broken free by armed men and given an offer: assassinate Alastair Sheridan and begin a new life abroad with a new identity. The men claim to be from MI6. They say that Sheridan is a threat to national security and needs to be neutralised. Ray knows they are not who they say they are, and that their real motives are far darker.

The only person Ray trusts is ex-cop and former lover Tina Boyd, who’s keen to settle her own scores with Sheridan.

With enemies on every side, only one thing is certain.

No one wants them to get out alive.

Rips along at a breathless pace.
It’s always a pleasure to pick up the latest from Simon Kernick and once again he has delivered an exhilarating, tightly plotted and well-crafted tale. The phrase ‘page turner’ is sometimes overused, but never in this author’s case. This is a book you will not want to put down. An ex-detective seeking redemption and a corrupt, murderous politician. What’s not to like? A firecracker of a read.
Unless you’re a thrill-seeker about to be fired out of a fairground cannon, there’s no bigger blast than Kernick’s new tour-de-force. Nobody does it better. With action, thrills, and a helter-skelter plot, this is a supreme thriller.
The story races along, full of practical and operational detail, a world of tangled motives and divided loyalties, before reaching an action-packed climax.

Despite normally avoiding content such as graphic murders or torture of sexual nature , I have to admit I was absorbed by this book. Shocking in places, but a thrilling story line. Unpredictable & worth a read

Took a while to get into this book but was worth perseverance . A good storyline after a somewhat drawn out start. Narration well presented.

Made the mistake of missing the first 3 books in this series. Hopefully there’s more to come soon. Excellent characters and story and as always an absolute genius narration by Paul Thornley, adds so much to novels.

Make sure you get the series in order!
