    About this audiobook

    You wake up in a strange room on a bed covered in blood. You have no idea how you got there. Beside you is a dead girl. Your girlfriend. The phone rings, and a voice tells you to press play on the room's DVD machine. The film shows you killing your girlfriend. Then you're told to go to an address in East London where you're to deliver a briefcase and await further instructions. There's no way out. If you're to survive the next 24 hours, you must find out who killed your girlfriend, and why. Before they come for you too...

    • 4/5
      A fast moving thriller a cracking good read
    • 5/5
      Like Relentless, Kernick's previous novel I read, this book's speed of plot development keeps you turning the pages until the very end. A good read for a snowy Easter weekend! Good characterisation and authentic London locations keep the interest high as the body count mounts, most to fairly gruesome ends, but then from the opening page when Tyler find himself in bed with the headless corpse of his girlfriend, it comes as no great surprise this should be the case. Probably not one for the squeamish.
