Sensational. I loved it. An absolute thrill ride

Spectacular. Terminally Kill reads like Richard Osman with more blood. A tale of morality, mortality and what happens when a life takes you beyond breaking point'

Ray Leonard, chemotherapy patient, looks the perfect target for a roadside mugging. But Ray is more than meets the eye - and when his former army and police training kick in in self-defence, his would-be attacker ends up dead. Guilt-stricken, he confesses his crime to his treatment group - a motley crew of fellow cancer sufferers. And discovers he's not the only killer in the bunch . . .

Brought to you by Penguin. 
 
Ray might be about to die. But he’s sure as hell not going quietly … 
 
Former policeman Ray ‘Sugar’ Leonard is no stranger to bad breaks. But even Walter White never had to open up and share his feelings with a bunch of misfits like Ray’s chemotherapy group: a giant God-bothering Welsh bouncer, a sharp-suited wannabe Wolf of Wall Street, and a misanthropic, potty-mouthed little old lady. Compared to that lot, getting mugged on his way home from the clinic was almost a relief. 
 
But Ray is not your average victim. And when his training kicks in and his would-be attacker winds up dead, he wonders, who else might be equally deserving of such summary justice? After all, he’s got cancer, what’s he got to lose? 
 
Then Ray lets slip his new philosophy to the group and it soon becomes clear that he’s not the only one with murder in mind …

Steve Jones' first job was in a petrol station. It was also the first job he was fired from for putting diesel in Dai-The-Milk's petrol truck. 
From there he gained employment in a printing factory before setting off for distant shores to "find himself". He subsequently found a mediocre career in modelling which thankfully segued into a fairly successful twenty-year (to date) career in TV presenting. His cherished accomplishments: he was crowned Welsh Rear of the Year in 2002. His suitcase has come out first at the airport on no less than two occasions, and now, he has written two novels, Call Time and Terminally Kill. Which he very much hopes you will enjoy.
