Review:

I love this guy's books. Try this one and you'll see why (Lee Child)

One of the best thrillers you will read this year (Financial Times)

Life or Death is a nerve-shredding thriller with the heart and soul so often missing from lesser crime and suspense novels. I couldn't stop reading, yet I didn't want Audie's story to end. Robotham is an absolute master. (Stephen King)

[A] superbly exciting thriller... Beautifully written and full of poignancy (Sunday Mirror)

Start reading Life or Death and you'll want to stay curled up in an armchair with one of the best thrillers you'll read this year (Good Book Guide)

Damn near perfect (Weekend Sport)
