An ex marine turns journalist. He misses the buzz, the adventure. Finding himself at the scene of a grizzly double murder, he discovers folks involved in deal making to try to see justice for those guilty of war crimes. Some involved don’t seem to care overmuch about heavy collateral damage
The involved parties all seem to have hands that aren’t so clean themselves
Can Ray Hammer find relative justice for some of the victims of this movement?

This intriguing mystery thriller is my first time reading anything from this author and I was attracted to read the book after reading the blurb. The plot is interesting and slightly different to your run of the mill mystery plots. I liked the characters and their development. This book easily grabbed and held my attention from the get-go.

Action packed!
Great, fast paced adventure of revenge, murder and a double cross!
I like how Ray Hammer, the lead character, is developing. He is ex-military with a good moral code and a taste for whiskey.
He plays the game tactically and tries to outwit his opponent but who is he really playing against? All will be revealed in this story that starts as a rollercoaster and finishes like a tornado!
I couldn't put it down, I loved it and look forward to the next book in this series!

Again, another great action-packed Ray Hammer thriller from Leyshon. I really enjoy this series & cannot wait for the next installment to find out what adventure Ray finds himself involved in. This series is a must read for any Lee Child fan!
