Publisher Description
'The best kind of thriller - step by all-too-plausible step we're sucked into frantic, breathless action ... Perfect." LEE CHILD
You never know where danger may come from...
6.45am. A sweltering London rush hour. And in the last 27 minutes, seven people have been murdered.
In a series of coordinated attacks, seven men and women across London have been targeted. For journalist Famie Madden, the horror unfolds as she arrives for the morning shift.
The victims have one thing in common: they make up the investigations team at the news agency where Famie works. The question everyone’s asking: what were they working on that could prompt such brutal devastation?
As Famie starts to receive mysterious messages, she must find out whether she is being warned of the next attack, or being told that she will be the next victim...
Customer Reviews
Loses sight of reality
The title suggests a thrilling drama and is a play on words to the theme of the book. But honestly, it’s about 70 pages too long. We’ve been asked to take what is quite a lengthy journey with people that aren’t that likeable and this can be quite a wearying process. The start is promising as is grounded is some reality with recent terrorist attacks. However, that seems to get lost as the book progresses and we get set pieces of characters gathered round an injured police officers bed in hospital discussing how to win the day.
Things then get a little ‘filmic’ and the author seems to have one eye on the big screen and Hollywood and the books loses its way. It all starts to get a litte Charlies Angels near the end with a Hollywood style arrest scene that in reality just would not happen. This is a book that moves from reality, to implausability and then onto Hollywood, it’s just a pity that readers have to be dragged across the finishing line rather than taken on the journey and enjoying it.
