A great thriller and I really enjoyed the political aspects. I couldn't help but feel it would make a good action-packed, tense film or tv series as I was on the edge of my seat throughout.

Thrilling story, great plot and characters that keep you guessing right til the end.  Great for fans of this genre.

Micheal North is an assasin, ( who has a bullet lodged in his head!!) working for, well, shady people inc the Government, he works on a need to know basis and never questions his orders....until he receives instructions to kill Honor Jones MP, he has never assassinated a woman before.....nor questioned those that sanction his work, if he did he would become the assassinated! What will he choose to do...
The story then follows what happens in this tale of ‘New
Order’Govts, treachery, wealth, power, justice and injustice and its all intriguing, if not at times a tad hard to follow as it goes back and forwards from past to present, this is helped by short punchy chapters so you can shake your head and get back on track fairly easily
The characters are flawed, non perfect, unusual in personality and for this ( although cant say I loved them ) I did find them unusual enough to keep me interested in all of them  although found the name of the ‘in charge’ policeman ‘Slim Hardman’ annoying and also found Maggie’s interest in astronomy over mentioned and explained ( fascinating if you are into that, not so if your not!! ) also every ‘extra’ that appeared was described as having a ‘heart shaped face’, little niggles but niggles enough to mention!
BUT the story is good, the writing clear and easy and leads to a very exciting last third of the book and an unexpected ending...and leaves it open for the start of the next book which is due Dec this year
A satisfying thriller that I felt I had seen through stage by stage and had in the main enjoyed doing so!

Very bloody, very exciting , very good. If you are missing Jack or Eve then this is for you. Not to be started late at night as you will just have to read one more chapter and the pace is intense. A great set of characters to care about and all too plausible villains. Thanks to the publisher Head of Zeus and Netgalley for providing me with this free and thrilling book and introducing me to a new favourite author.
