NEW YORK
It may be Christmas in New York, but for ex-soldier turned élite bodyguard Ryan Lock it's business as usual: his mission is to protect one of America's most ruthless businessmen.
A BLOODY SHOOT-OUT
Suddenly gunshots ring out. People run for cover. Innocent people are mown down. Amid the chaos, Lock's hunt for the killers turns into an explosive game of cat and mouse.
A DEADLY SECRET
Lock's search for the truth takes him from the rooftops of a New York skyscraper to a heavily fortified warehouse on the Hudson where he confronts one of the world's most dangerous women. As the clock ticks towards midnight on New Year's Eve, all routes into and out of Manhattan are sealed, and Lock realises that not only is his own life in terrible danger but so are the lives of millions of others...

"A thrilling debut that locks you in and loads up the tension!" (SIMON KERNICK)
"Sean Black writes with the pace of Lee Child and the heart of Harlan Coben" (JOSEPH FINDER)

"Hold on tight - this one burns like a lit fuse" (GREGG HURWITZ)
I acquired this book back in 2008, and loved everything about it - its adrenalin-fuelled storyline, the whole set-up (New York over the Christmas period, snow falling), and in particular Ryan Lock - a great action-man for our time. There's even a dog! It's fast, it's very filmic, and the author believes in the 'method' way of writing - he trained as a bodyguard - or close protection work as it's known in the US - in an army camp in Wales, as well as in the Czech Republic. Check out his website and his blog - it's great stuff.
