Good book with clever threads weaving a believable scenario. Nice to see the hero Jones doing what he has to do for the greater good but with a conscience!

Well crafted storyline

Continues the story well but not as good as the Siege. Enjoy. Paul Thornley as story teller

No a bad resumption of the Siege

As an ex London Detective I have great problems in finding anything fictional that is accurate or bears any relationship to the real thing. This book is an excellent example of a well researched story and is as good as it gets. After this, I doubt I will bother to read or listen to any of the other alleged crime writers . Thanks Simon or whoever you are ?
