Long Dead Road: A Relentless Vigilante Justice Action Thriller

by Andy Conway, Jack Turner

Eight years in a cage. Eight years to plan a reckoning.John Blackwood was the perfect weapon. As an operative for the elite Clocktower group, he was trained to be a ghost, a shadow, and a lethal instrument of the state. Then he got framed, and the government he served left him to rot in prison.

Now, he’s out. And he has a list.

In this hard boiled lone wolf assassin revenge story, Blackwood isn't looking for an apology — illegitimate justice is the only kind he understands. From the rain-slicked streets of London to the jagged cliffs of a remote Scottish fishing town, he is on a path of pure action adventure crime retribution.

But the men who stole his life didn't just walk away. They’ve built an empire on a ten-million-pound crime gang, and they have an army of tooled-up criminals standing in his way. They expect him to run. They expect him to hide.
But Blackwood has one Do the opposite.

Blending hard-boiled detective grit with high-octane vigilante fiction, Long Dead Road is an explosive entry in the gritty British noir crime mystery series that readers are calling "a bullet of a narrative."

If you crave hitman mystery and thriller books for men that feature an ex-military hero who dispenses his own brand of justice, then meet John Blackwood. He’s not a hero. He’s a reckoning.

Wow, non stop action from the beginning to the end. This was a new book series for me and I really enjoyed it. Lots of twists and turns. I will now start to read the next book, Cold Border. A well deserved 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First time I’ve read this author. An interesting read can't really put a handle on it as it felt a little like pulp fiction a couple of good twists but quite an implausible ending. I will read the sequel to see if it gets any better

[Bill Rathbone · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of many vengeance-themed series. Very short sentences. Short chapters. Lots of unlabeled flashbacks that make it confusing. Not so fantastic.
