Alex King #19
Die Trying
An unprecedented flow of heroin has entered Europe and police and law enforcement agencies have no idea from where. Local criminals have been drafted in to push the product with no charge to the end user. Free heroin to all. But who is responsible and what is their agenda?
With a contract on his head, King has to meet his enemies head-on while the team cross paths with Russian agents and mafia kingpins as they hunt down the heroin and put a stop to the degradation of society as Russia tries to weaken Europe’s resolve.

In summary,to me , very very disappointing.
I purchased the book because having read some of his other character novels which I enjoyed I figured I would be getting and enjoying more of the same.
This to me was absolutely tortureous reading and an absolute penance to get through . I hate giving up on books which was the reason why I didn't close it down at a very early stage .
Sad to say, Mr. Bateman is now off my "Christmas Card List " and that is not going to change . Have to say a one star rating was incredibly generous on my part .
I realise we all have different tastes and if others enjoyed it, good luck to them but I strongly suspect they are likely to be very very few in number
