From the first line, Kernick knows how to get a thriller shifting, and he doesn't let up until the very last ... he puts a London hotel under siege, to brilliantly dramatic effect.
The author is one of Britain’s top thriller writers and his latest yarn is another page turner – pacy, violent and gripping
A murder-a-minute gallop which successfully relies on sheer pace.
A gripping read with a rich cast of nicely crafted characters and a clever plot - or two - that comes together in a decidedly satisfactory ending.
Excellent at police and intelligence detail … expertly plotted … fast, furious and professional
