Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Dr Leo Black is one of Oxford University's rising stars. His lectures play to a packed audience of adoring students. He seems destined for tenure amongst the gleaming spires. But Worcester College has never employed a man like Leo Black before.
For 20 years Leo served the SAS with distinction. And when the friend he served alongside is killed in Paris trying to prevent the abduction of a young British scientist, the world Leo has tried to put behind him begins to reel him back in.
When Leo's former Commanding Officer reveals that Paris represented far more than just a single, isolated tragedy, Leo reluctantly agrees to help, whatever the cost to his new life.
But as Leo gets closer to the startling truth about his friend's death, he also faces an uncomfortable recognition that, while he might be a promising academic, he is a truly exceptional soldier.

I wanted the 'hero' to die
Leo Black, frustrated academic, who everybody and his dog knows was a former SAS soldier, such a sensitive man, is forced back into a deniable operation where he turns into a murderous maniac with no morals and no skills. Hated him as a character and was disappointed every time he miraculously escaped death.

Matthew Hall | The Black Art Of Killing
This was the first book by Matthew Hall that I have read. He had me from the first words and weaves words that transport one into the unfolding story.
Matthew is an exemplary writer and this is a well crafted book that I encourage you to read... You will not regret it.
Jonathan Day Lewis reads in a way that, I feel, not only does justice to the words on the page. Jonathan compliments and enhances Matthew Hall's narrative in an impassioned style that is enthralling.

Good narration, weak ending
A nicely paced story read well, how the ending was a bit unbelievable. I liked the Coroner series and look forward to more from this author.

I loved this. A gripping story
If like me you enjoy a good Lee Child - Jack Reacher book then you will love this. Lots of twists and turns and multiple stories running alongside each other. Highly recommended

Loved it. An intelligent action thriller. Thought provoking with adrenaline.
A great blend of action, intelligent plot and international intrigue. Found myself going for walks to get a fix of the story. Narrator is smart and easy to listen to. Perfect match. No buyers regret on this one. Thanks.
