THEY WANT YOU.
AND THEY WANT YOU DEAD.

Saturday afternoon: you're with the kids in the garden when the phone rings.

It's your best friend from school. Someone you haven't seen for a few years. It should be a friendly call catching up on old times.

But it's not.

This call is different. Your friend is panting with fear, his breaths coming in tortured, ragged gasps. Someone is inflicting terrible pain on him.

He cries out and then he utters six words that will change your life forever... the first two lines of your address.

Ratings and reviews

Thriller is above average and for a change the central character is not some super spy but an ordinary man. The other characters have also been dealt with nicely. I thought that the ending was a bit of a let down!

Fantastic book, as are all the Simon Kernick books iv read so far!!! Couldnt put it down, had to catch up on hours of sleep after reading this book as I stayed up till the early hours wanting more + more!!! Highly recomended!! X

If you want a fast moving story with exciting twists and turns then this is for you. There are a couple of minor plot imperfections but this book is about the thrill of a relentless chase to stay alive while trying to discover what is happening and why. You will not want to put it down!
