NEW YORK
It may be Christmas in New York, but for ex-soldier turned élite bodyguard Ryan Lock it's business as usual: his mission is to protect one of America's most ruthless businessmen.
A BLOODY SHOOT-OUT
Suddenly gunshots ring out. People run for cover. Innocent people are mown down. Amid the chaos, Lock's hunt for the killers turns into an explosive game of cat and mouse.
A DEADLY SECRET
Lock's search for the truth takes him from the rooftops of a New York skyscraper to a heavily fortified warehouse on the Hudson where he confronts one of the world's most dangerous women.
As the clock ticks towards midnight on New Year's Eve, all routes into and out of Manhattan are sealed, and Lock realises that not only is his own life in terrible danger but so are the lives of millions of others...
A thrilling debut that locks you in and loads up the tension!
—— SIMON KERNICKSean Black writes with the pace of Lee Child and the heart of Harlan Coben.
—— JOSEPH FINDERFunny, tough, and furiously paced, Lockdown explodes off the page.
—— JESSE KELLERMANHold on tight-this one burns like a lit fuse.
—— GREGG HURWITZAn action movie on the printed page. Throw into this mayhem Ryan Lock, a protagonist tough enough to take on the Jacks of this world (thats Bauer and Reacher) and you've got an adrenaline-rush read that you're not going to forget any time soon.
—— Russel McLeanMurder, kidnapping, explosions ... mix in Sean Black's no-nonsense all-action hero, Ryan Lock, and you have all the right ingredients for a top-notch thriller.
—— Zoe SharpClearly influenced by Child and Joseph Finder, Black drives his hero into the tightest of spots with a force and energy that jump off the page. Lock is clearly going to be around for a long time. With a spine-tingling finale that reminded me of Die Hard, this is a writer, and a hero, to watch.
—— Geoffrey Wansell, DAILY MAILAn excellent first novel...Black's style is supremely slick.
—— TELEGRAPH REVIEWClassic thriller start of a series.
—— LEICESTER MERCURYA seamless debut...funnier and more self-depreciating than Reacher.
—— DAILY TELEGRAPH REVIEWIrresistibly dramatic... Susan Hill has done the genre real honour
—— Chicago TribuneThe Woman in Black won’t fail to have you looking over your shoulder!
—— KettleStill gives us nightmares.
—— Jonathan Hatfull , SciFiNowIt is bursting with classic Gothic horror motifs and Susan Hill is a master of atmospheric descriptions. She evokes so cleverly the decrepit Eel Marsh House, the mention of its name enough to make the locals pause, their faces darken in unspoken wariness… The Woman in Black gives a thrilling sense of unease and provides just the right level of things that go bump in the night for a spine-tingling good read.
—— KhoollectThis spine-tingling novel… will certainly keep your nerves jangling
—— Woman's WeeklyAn excellent ghost story...magnificently eerie...compulsive reading
—— Evening StandardShe writes with great power, authentically chilling
—— Daily TelegraphOne of the most popular British ghost stories of modern times
—— Observer
