Synopsis

For fans of David Baldacci, Lee Child, Barry Eisler, and James Patterson's Alex Cross series. A DEADLY MISSION It may be Christmas Eve in New York, but for ex-military bodyguard Ryan Lock it's business as usual. His task: to protect the CEO of the world's largest bio-technology company from a group of radical, and highly determined, activists. A BLOODY SHOOTOUT But when a failed assassination attempt leaves the streets of midtown littered with bodies, and hours later the son of the company's chief research scientist is abducted from his Upper West Side prep school, Lock's hunt for the boy turns into an explosive game of cat and mouse. ONLY ONE MAN CAN SAVE NEW YORK Through the corporate corridors of power and dark alleys of Manhattan, Lock's search leads him towards a deadly confrontation with one of the world's most dangerous women, a deadly Chechen black widow seeking revenge against America. As the clock ticks towards midnight on New Year's Eve, and the crowds gather in Times Square, Lock realizes that not only is his own life in terrible danger but so are the lives of millions of others...

About this title

Review

`A thrilling debut that locks you in and loads up the tension'

From the Publisher

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.
