Crossfire

Ex-deniable operator Nick Stone is bodyguarding a TV crew on the streets of war-torn Basra. He seems certain to die when insurgent gunmen attack. Only a reporter's swift action saves his life.

When the reporter vanishes within hours, presumed kidnapped, Stone is asked by the Intelligence Service to find him. The trail leads from Iraq to London, Dublin, and Kabul - the brutal city where governments, terrorism and big business collide.

Caught in the crossfire, Stone's nightmare is only just beginning - for the hunter has suddenly become the hunter...

Reviews

A heart thumping read

—— Daily Express

Addictive - packed with wild action and revealing tradecraft

—— Daily Telegraph

McNab is a terrific novelist - when it comes to thrills he is Forsyth class

—— Mail on Sunday

McNab's great asset is that the heart of his fiction is non-fiction: other thriller writers do their research, but he has actually been there

—— The Sunday Times

Deft, taut fiction... Many English writers have been compared to Evelyn Waugh, often wrongly, but this book can stand with the master's best

—— The Times

Springs new surprises on us . . .Pulses will be quickened

The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl

—— New York Times

Halfway through and I can't stop reading it. My kinda thriller!

—— Tweet from Armistead Maupin

it's BLIDDY FABLISS, isn't it! A long long time since a book gripped me like this

—— Tweet from Marian Keyes

The Girl on the Train is one of those delicious thrillers that can be devoured in four sittings, that's two return journeys on a typical train trip! There's a whiff of Agatha Christie and a dollop of Gone Girl with plenty of blind alleys that we happily wander up and get lost in. Pick it up, solve the crime and pass it on . . .

—— Ryan Tubridy

Agatha Christie meets Rear Window...a taut psychological thriller that's chockful of chilling twists.

Curtain Call is a poignant and gripping story about love and death in a society dancing towards the abyss

Harrowing suspense. The Bear is a survival thriller that is told from a child's-eye point-of-view, which is not only convincing but doubles the tension. A heartbreaking, white-knuckle read

—— Andrew Pyper, author of The Demonologist

Thrilling and harrowing…. I couldn’t put this book down. And I must say that the ending was so right, I caught myself holding my breath. A remarkable novel

—— Anthony de Sa, author of Kicking the Sky

Just when you thought it was safe to go into the forest... This expertly crafted novel could do for camping what Jaws did for swimming
