About this listen
Featured in the Zoe Ball book club on ITV.
An assassin’s bullet. A deadly conspiracy. But who is calling the shots?
When an attempted assassination sparks a chain reaction of explosive events across London, Britain’s elite security forces seem powerless to stop the chaos threatening to overwhelm the government.
As the dark and deadly conspiracy unfolds, three strangers find their fates entwined: Joe Dempsey, a deadly military intelligence officer; Sarah Truman, a CNN reporter determined to get her headline; and Michael Devlin, a Belfast-born criminal barrister with a secret past.
As the circle of those they can trust grows ever smaller, Dempsey, Devlin and Truman are forced to work in the shadows, caught in a life-or-death race against the clock, before the terrible plot can consume them all.

It's one political conspiracy thriller that actually thrills as it romps along at a fast pace.
At an event in Trafalgar Square to honour military servicemen, a highly skilled mercenary sniper takes out a security agent allowing an improbable looking gunman who seems to have missed his target, a former US president, to assassinate a British member of parliament instead. The perpetrator is instantly apprehended by seasoned specialist operative Joe Dempsey, meaning sniper 'Joshua' fails to silence his second target, so a scheme years in the planning starts to go array. Taken to a London Police station, the prisoners soon dead, but not before he's spoken to a lawyer, who in turn calls his friend criminal barrister Michael Devlin. Within hours there's a fatal car accident, Joshua's work, and soon he's pursuing Devlin & a CNN reporter who also knows a little too much. Meanwhile Dempsey recognises the hit-man's handiwork, realises there's a cover-up of the facts & suspicious investigates.
Bucking the trend to make foreign religious factions the terrorists, this novel returns to Ireland where despite the 'Troubles' deemed settled by a peace accord, unrest can be easily manipulated for political gain. And, in the end that's at the root of the story; one man's ruthless ambition to bring down a PM who's seen as soft on terrorism & place himself in power; he's flagged fairly early on as the villain.
High octane British political romp!
