If you are looking for a nice steady, relaxing read, click away now. This is not the book for you. On the other hand, if you'd like to be set down in a city which you'll recognise if you know anything of it, but seeing the criminal underbelly rather than the pleasant, welcoming parts which you might expect and if you like to hit the ground running and not stop until you've turned the final page - then you just might have come to the right place. Ben Bracken doesn't have the luxury of being able to relax - he's a driven man and aware that his freedom could be ''fragile''. You'll sense that the dangerous edge is only lightly sheathed and can be in use at any moment. This man is a trained soldier: the enemy might be different, but he's still a professional.
It's a good story and I read it in a couple of sittings, keen to know how it would work out. A more effective proofreading would have improved my enjoyment but I'd like to thank the publisher for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
For more fiction from Manchester we can recommend [[Bitter Blue by Cath Staincliffe]]. For another thriller with an army background, try [[I Hear the Sirens in the Street by Adrian McKinty]].
