John Meron, a happily married father of two who's never been in trouble, receives a phone call that will change his life for ever: his friend Jack Calley, a high-flying City lawyer, is screaming down the phone for help. As Meron listens, Calley is murdered. His last words, spoken to his killer, are the first two lines of Meron's address. Confused and terrified, Meron scoops up his children and hurries out of the house. Just in time. Within minutes, a car pulls up outside, and three men get out. It's clear that they're coming for him. He's being hunted and has no idea why. And with his wife missing, an unidentified corpse in her office, and the police after him for murder, his life's about to get one hell of a lot worse.

Simon Kernick is in his thirties, and lives with his wife and two young children near London. His previous novels, The Business of Dying, The Murder Exchange, The Crime Trade and A Good Day to Die are published as Corgi paperbacks. The research for Simon Kernick's novels is what makes them so authentic. His extensive list of contacts in the police force has been built up over more than a decade. It includes long serving officers in Special Branch, the National Crime Squad (now SOCA), and the Anti-Terrorist Branch, all of whom have plenty of tales to tell.
3 o clock. It s a normal Saturday afternoon. You re with the kids in the garden when the phone rings.
It s your best friend from school, the best man at your wedding. Someone you haven t seen for a few years. It should be a friendly call making arrangements to see each other again, catching up on old times.
But it s not.
This call is different. Your friend is speaking quickly, panting with fear, his breaths coming in tortured, ragged gasps. It is clear that someone is inflicting terrible pain on him.
He cries out and then utters six words that will change your life forever the first two lines of your address.
What do you do?Do you run or do you hide?
RELENTLESS
The pace is breakneck, the plot twists like a hooked eel The sort of book that forces you to read so fastyou stumble over the words Evening Standard
