About this ebook
With a number of set pieces full of high drama, notably including a multiple car chase by the shore near Coney Island in New York, a violent gun battle after a memorial service in a Russian Orthodox church on the streets of Manhattan, a gripping torture scene in the crypt of a church in Venice, an attempted rape in a hotel room in Newquay in the UK and a dramatic night-time chase on nearby Towan beach, the action never lets up, culminating in a final surprise twist ending. With the authors insight into complex and intriguing characters, In The Thick Of It should be on everyones 'must read' list.
