A roller coaster ride from start to finish. You won't be able to put it down.
I really enjoyed this book. A roller coaster ride from start to finish. Yes there were similarities with Jack Reacher but much more realistic. Joe gets hurt. The characters are well written, you really get to know them all and I found myself cheering them on. The car chases and fights keep you on the edge of your seat. I kept thinking what a good film this would make. I do hope this isn't the last we hear of these crime busters. I want more!
A fast paced thriller, kept me engrossed throughout right from the first pages. The characters seem real, the action brutal, the enemy even more so.
This book did not disappoint! I was hooked from the first chapter, it was fast moving and kept me gripped the whole way through. Ex MI5 operative Joe Mason and another operative Roxy are sent to Rome to protect a professor and his daughter while they did some research in the Vatican secret archives. Within hours of his arrival the professor is shot by a masked assassin who steals an ancient manuscript and makes a run for it with Joe, Roxy and the daughter giving chase. This frenetic beginning leads to a chase across several countries to find the book before it could be accessed to do harm by the Amori, a terrorist group.
The book is fast paced, with a lot of action as Joe comes across others along the way who help the cause on both sides. A well written action thriller which has been likened to The Da Vinci Code, I enjoyed it and will look to read other books by this author.
It is a very good read. Spellbinding.
