Dennis Milne has been given, what he hopes, is his last assassination assignment.
Meanwhile, back in England, DI Tina Boyd has been called out to what
appears to be a suicide. However, she is convinced that it is murder.
The victim had been a high profile journalist who had been gathering
evidence on a well known, but seemingly Teflon-like criminal. Boyd had
been helping him gather the evidence. When an attempt is made on her
life that night, Boyd knows who was behind it, and sets out to return
the favour.
Unbeknownst to Boyd, a man she needs to contact in Manila has just been
killed by Milne. Boyd decides to go to Manila, while Milne is assigned
to kill her when she arrives. Milne has his gun trained on her and then
puts it down. After some discussion the pair decide to team up and get
the person behind all the killings. But, can they trust each other?
The action is fast paced after the pair join up. Murder and mayhem
ensue as they pursue their goal. They are surprised when they find out
that the reason behind their objective isn't what they had thought, but
something much more sinister.
Author Simon Kernick's third volume in this trilogy is both tense and exciting. A very good read; hard to put down.
