Liam Rafferty and Mary Sullivan are both Irish Republican dissidents. Their plan is to bring terror to the British mainland and avenge Liam's brother’s murder. Their former comrades in Belfast learn of his activities and order Mick McArthur, the Republican movement's intelligence chief, to stop them at any cost.
Detective Superintendent Christian Dane works the most serious crimes and is determined to get justice for the victims. He leads major inquiries in Essex. When Karen Teller, a veteran MI5 officer, receives a warning of an imminent terrorist attack, by an unknown dissident group, Dane is called in to investigate.
The only lead is a weekly call to Belfast made from a telephone box on the Essex coast. With Detective Constable Hayley Cross, Dane’s most capable officer, at his side they set to work tracking the terrorists down.
Working around hindrance from Chief Superintendent Brown of the Met Counter Terrorism Command Dane isolates and arrests some of the gang and confirms the threat is real. As he races to prevent the attack Rafferty's plans for him are revealed.
Dane must now risk everything to protect his family from Rafferty’s vengeance.
This was a fabulous read. It was good to be back with Christian Dane and to see how he was after the last book. It was great to see that his relationship with Vicky was still going strong and that his relationship with his dad was almost improving compared to last time.
I loved the storyline andn thought it was pieced together very cleverly, I liked how Dane managed to put things together that seemed unrelated and also I love that he trakes no crap from anyone, including members of MI5 and MI6! The book is pacy and it just kept building towards the ending which was great.
It wasn't a straightforward path to the ending and I think that made it even more brilliant to read as there was times when I thought something would happen and it didn't but something even more brilliant and unexpected did!
I really like Simon's writing style and hope that we get to hear more from Dane, I would say that I hope he gets a quieter life but I'm not sure that would make for interesting reading so maybe not!
