When a mysterious woman confides a dark secret, he is motivated to redress a heart-breaking injustice. Together they must battle against powerful forces as they edge dangerously close to unmasking a past crime.

Airports are fascinating places - the majority of us spend as little time as possible in them, but those who work in them live in a constantly shifting community filled with a fascinating cross section of society. It's in this intriguing setting that author A.P Mcgrath chooses to set his novel - taking the phrase Airport Thriller to a whole new level.

The story revolves around Michael Keih - a priest at an airport. His is an intriguing role and he's a compelling character for the readers to follow. His role as a Man of God makes for a unique viewpoint onto the events of the story - every action informed and governed by the rules and morals that form such a large part of his life. It's an underlying dimension to every aspect of the book, helping make it an especially interesting read by adding a layer of depth to the fast, thriller plot that takes centrestage.

This isn't a light thriller though - McGrath tackles some heavy themes, but does so with a careful, considered touch. The writing is such that the reader is gripped immediately, and swept into a plot that packs intelligent themes and an emotion depth into a twisting, page turning read. Many thanks to the publishers for the copy.

For further reading I recommend Condition: Book One - A Medical Miracle? by Alec Birri – another book that blends compelling characters and intriguing concepts into a pulse-raising read.
