Readers’ Comments

‘Thrilling stuff. I enjoyed it.’ Male reader, aged 54

‘Has pretty much everything a good thriller needs: plenty of pace, exciting setting and a moral dilemma.’ Female reader, aged 36

‘A corrupt company but Harry stands his ground. There’s a good message in there which is very relevant today. The writing style is spot on for this genre; not overly descriptive with

emphasis on pace. In terms of thrillers, this author knows what he’s doing. Just try to ignore the bland cover.’ Male reader, aged 64

‘Superb story with evidence of diligent planning and research. Note to author: change the cover. It’s horrible.’ Female reader, aged 69

To Sum It Up:

‘A gripping thriller with an important message. A FINALIST ad highly recommended.’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
