*******************************************************************************************
EVERYONE HAS SECRETS. BUT SOME CAN GET YOU KILLED.
Ryan Drake is a man who finds people who don't want to be found.
Once a soldier in the British Army, he now works for the CIA, leading an elite investigation team that tracks down missing agents. But his latest mission - to free a prisoner codenamed Maras and bring her back onto US soil within forty-eight hours - is more dangerous than anything his team has attempted before.
But it's when the mission is successfully completed that the real danger for Drake begins. Faced with a terrible threat, he is forced to go on the run with Maras - a veteran agent scarred by years of brutal imprisonment.
Hunted by his former comrades and those willing to do anything to protect a deadly secret, Drake is left with no choice but to trust a dangerous woman he barely knows.
For he has only one chance to save those he loves and time is running out...
Drake will return in Sacrifice.
Entertaining
—— The TelegraphA high-octane and fast paced tale of derring-do set in the world of elite investigation and black-ops that had me hooked throughout…One of the strongest aspects of this book is Jordan’s grasp of characterisation as Drake is a compelling and empathetic protagonist…Overall a very creditable debut and bodes well for a long running series featuring this new action-hero.
—— Raven Crime ReadsNobody does it better than Clive Cussler, nobody
—— Stephen CoontsHaunting
—— IndependentNerve-jangling
—— MetroA 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 TimesAn ambitious, fun, exciting and original crime novel.
—— Smålandsposten (Sweden)The Bat is a truly captivating crime novel.
—— Berliner Morgenpost (Germany)The Bat is innovative and different, and the pace that Jo Nesbo creates in his debut novel makes you long for more crime novels featuring Harry Hole.
—— Kristeligt Dagblad (Denmark)Jo Nesbo has written the cleverest debut novel in the crime genre that I’ve read in a long time.
—— Aftenposten (Norway)Most satisfyingly we can now see the organic shape that Nesbo always intended his work to take, and the canvas stretching out in front of us is a crowded one
