Secret Service Agent Mike Byrne is too late . . .
Too late to save the one man who knew the truth - the star witness who was about to blow the whistle on the biggest banking scandal in history.
Too late to stop an innocent man from dying, and so plunging the world of high finance into a death spiral of violence and murder.
Because payback for bankers who gambled with other people's money is being handed out in bullets and bombs.
And now the only person who can keep the bankers alive is Agent Byrne, who finds himself having to protect the very people he swore to take down.
Before long Byrne is locked into a deadly fight with an unseen enemy - an enemy that will stop at nothing to get what they want...
One of the most ingenious crime writers around. Highly recommended
—— Daily TelegraphMankell is in the first division of crime writing
—— The TimesNot only an intriguing puzzle, but a moving description of a man trying to keep faith with a dead friend... This is the best aspect of crime fiction: a gripping plot plus the exploration of character and relationships that reverberate around murder
—— IndependentSo compelling that, at the end of the sleepless night it took to read, I blearily reached for a keyboard to search for Mankell's other titles
—— Mark Lawson , GuardianA wonderful debut, gripping from the very first page and not a word out of place
—— Frankfurter Allgemeine ZeitungA magnificent storyteller
—— Der SpiegelThe storytelling is poised and beautiful
—— William Leith , Evening StandardThe stories von Schirach tells here are compelling in their own right but he elevates them to something greater with his calm, precise narration. These are like 20 or more mini episodes of The Killing (acutally, they would make for an amazing television series). They are masterpieces in miniature. I cannot recommend them highly enough
—— Me & My Big MouthSchirach is a defence lawyer in his native Germany, and these tales of individual crimes read almost like a real-life case-by-case study
—— Lesley McDowell , IndependentMy book of the year: a dazzling double-bill exploring unusual criminal cases… hypnotic, heartbreaking prose
—— Christopher Fowler , Financial TimesCrime is a curiously beguiling collection of short stories
—— Marcel Berlin , The Times
