GJ Minett
Twenty years ago, Jon Kavanagh worked for a crime syndicate. Then one night he made a mistake. He left a witness at a crime scene. Alive. Now, he is haunted by the memories of that young girl and what might have happened to her.
Anna Hill is an aspiring singer. When she is given the opportunity to work in Portugal, she takes it. This is her chance to finally kick-start her career.
But the offer comes at a price and becoming involved with the Syndicate is risky. To survive, Anna will need all her instincts to work out who she can really trust . . .

Critic reviews
Brilliant characterisation and such a tense, winding plot. I loved the way Graham wove the story together
A damaged but engaging central character, sharp dialogue, twisty plot and great pay-off - The Syndicate has all the ingredients of an excellent thriller
The Syndicate is a gripping story that builds to a stunning conclusion. GJ Minett's Kavanagh is a complex and original creation; a man haunted by his past and living on borrowed time
Captivating, cleverly written, unputdownable. I devoured The Syndicate in one night. Minett and crime at its finest
I absolutely loved it. I raced through this book. A beautifully written, character-focused novel that reminded me of George Pelecanos at his best. Definitely one of my reads of the year so far
Pacey, heart-stopping and poignant
With Kavanagh, Minett has created the ultimate hero - dark, dangerous but with a depth of heart. If I was in trouble, I'd want Kavanagh in my corner. The Syndicate is a truly sinuous suspense that when you think you've got it worked out, has a resolution that snaps back and bites. More please
In The Syndicate, G.J Minett has brought us a compelling, intricately-plotted novel peopled with fascinating characters, particularly the brilliantly drawn Jon Kavanagh, in whose outcome I was completely invested throughout. The writing is superb, the story intriguing and what an ending. Wow!
A master of language and character, GJ Minett's The Syndicate is dark and treacherous with a real sting in its tail.
What a thumping good book! And an absolute gem of a hallmark GJ Minett mystery thriller. Full of twists and turns and surprises, this particular story built to an emotive ending that I found enormously satisfying. A great story from a master storyteller. More please
A powerful psychological thriller, The Syndicate explores the physical and emotional scars that mould the character of a killer
That rare type of novel that manages to be subtle, compassionate and with a real moral heart, but at the same time packed with enough twists and turns to the point you can't put it down. And Kavanagh is exactly my kind of hero - laconic, no-nonsense, but also credible and relatable - the sort of reluctant leading man that I can't get enough of. A really entertaining read, but made exceptional my the emotional punch it carries
A Gripping Read!
