Description

  • A dramatic international thriller following a private investigator who finds himself embroiled in an underworld of organised crime when a hard drive is given to him by a stranger whilst he's on a case in Turkey.
  • Centered on the theme of vengeance, this is a fast-paced thriller that will keep a reader engaged until the very last page.
  • The second novel from the author of The Dark Frontier.

Tasked by Ben, an old friend, to locate a man in Turkey, private investigator Matt Quillan soon finds himself out of his depth when he has a flash drive thrust on him by a stranger who is arrested by armed officers shortly afterwards.

When Ben reveals that his mission is to avenge the murder of his sister, the conjunction of this assignment along with the flash drive burning a hole in Matt’s pocket puts them both – along with holidaymaker Amber – in mortal danger.

As the case lands Matt in the crosshairs of a local mobster, it is not only Ben’s search for vengeance which is left hanging in the balance.

Asked by a friend to track,down a man in a quiet resort in Turkey, PI Matt Quillan senses that he’s being deliberately kept in the dark. And sure enough, there’s not just more about the man he has been asked to find but the reasons behind his quest look set to lead him down some very dark allies. Before Matt can start making enquiries though, he is handed something by a stranger and this could be the most dangerous thing of all.

Set in Turkey, the narrative always has the ring of authenticity about it and the settings are lovingly described. Istanbul is on my travel wish list and this book just secured its’ spot at the top. Populated with shady figures who may be protecting their own agendas, the story flowed impeccably and gave a spicy mix of spy fiction, thriller and mystery. A very strong read in every respect.

This was such a wonderfully done international thriller novel, it had a great overall feel to it and I enjoyed the concept. I wanted to continue reading the world and thought the overall story was everything that I wanted. This was a great second book by A.B. Decker and glad I got to read this.
