Exciting contemporary UK thriller

The author certainly has the credentials to deliver an authentic modern thriller. Roger Pearce was the former Commander of Special Branch at New Scotland Yard, as well as Director of Intelligence, charged with heading covert operations against serious and organised criminals.

The book is well written and easy to read. It rocks along at quite a pace and captures modern London well, especially away from the tourist spots favoured by many writers.

Although the 2nd book featuring John Kerr the book can be read as a standalone, but does make me want to follow his further adventures.

It was a great spy novel that has a plot that is realistic.
