Synopsis

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...

Review:

"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)

"Funny, tough, and furiously paced, Lockdown explodes off the page." (JESSE KELLERMAN)

"Hold on tight-this one burns like a lit fuse." (GREGG HURWITZ)

"An action movie on the printed page. Throw into this mayhem Ryan Lock, a protagonist tough enough to take on the Jacks of this world (thats Bauer and Reacher) and you've got an adrenaline-rush read that you're not going to forget any time soon." (Russel McLean)

Review:

'Readers, meet Ryan Lock--a tough-guy hero for a new age. Hold on tight--this one burns like a lit fuse.'
