Acer Sansom has discovered that the daughter he believed was dead is alive and well. He even knows where she is. Now he wants her back. But the Turkish patriarch under whose protection she is living requires Acer to do a job for him first.
With limited options – each of them involving him risking his life – and a ticking clock, Acer is destined to find out how far he will go to get his child back and that luck has its limits.
I h read all four of the Acer Sanson books and they are all equally as good. They have you gripped from start to finish. The characters are believable and the writing and plotting are excellent
Oliver Tidy has endowed Acer Sansom with a back story and such depth of character and with his intricate storytelling that the character's morality and intensity flows throughout each successive story.
It's hard to believe that Oliver Tidy, author of the luscious British police procedural "Romney and Marsh" series, is the very same Oliver Tidy who brings Acer Sansom to life in an outstanding international action thriller series. The unique tones of the two series are each so spot on for their specific genres - the two encompassing completely different worlds, writing styles, complexities, and types of storytelling. Thank you.
This author knows how to grab you from the very first page, and he does not let go until the last. It starts with Acer Samson being tied to a chair and his colleague also, except his colleague is dead. This is in the first few pages. Another fast and furious tale told in a compelling way. Another must read book from this writer.
Because I enjoyed the Romney and Marsh series, I took a chance and down loaded this book. I actually enjoyed reading it and will now order the first three books.
The exciting pace continues, this time Acer goes to Syria. Full of action with vivid descriptions of the war torn country, showing the human cost of all sides.
Good action-packed thriller. I didn't read the previous books in the series, but this one was easy to follow. Essential points from the previous books were summarized throughout this story to make it easier to put it into context.
It felt like the author had done a lot of research into his topic. I had never heard the term "deep state" before, and it was interesting reading what it meant. This story also gives the reader a bit of a look at the devastation the war in Syria has caused, and it provides a little information about a Turkish family's sense of values in regard to the family.
