My Review:-I have to say I wasn't sure about this one, even if you go by the cover it doesn't real tell you much about the book. The book starts with Richard Knox. Knox for short following his mark Dr Hamish Rabe, Dr Rabe doesn't know he's being followed at first but so realises that someone is following and heads for the underground where he falls and dies. That's chapter one and the twists and turns don't stop. I found the pace of the story worked well and the like the writing style of the author. I will be looking out for the next book.
