A Good Day to Die

Former DS Dennis Milne has been in the Philippines for three years now.   A commission has arrived, which could earn him and his partner $30 000.  Does he really want to commit murder again?  Is the money worth it?  Milne finds out that his target had killed a copper back in London, a man who had been Milne's friend.  Milne knows who ordered his friend's death, but how to make the payback is the question.  Maybe with time he could forget.

But, Milne can't forget it.  So, he heads back to London.  He is surprised when just after arriving, he receives a phone call from the man he wanted to surprise.  Milne is in serious trouble when he makes his meeting, but fortunately he manages to escape.  He turns to a reporter who is investigating his friend's death.

Milne decides to team up with a reporter who has been investigating his friend's death.  What she tells him helps to fill in some blanks.  However, he finds himself walking into more trouble, and every which way he turns, he feels he is running into a dead end, yet at the same time, drawing him back into his own past.

Author Simon Kernick's thriller is fast paced and full of action.  The book is a good read and hard to put down.  I'm looking forward to reading the final book in this trilogy.
