391 pages - finished by 9:50 pm after shirt read of c20 mins.

Gruesome use of the women for Saskia. Daniel's rescue implausible for doctor to suddenly have a conscience......though Gabe's involvement is feasible.

Short Sunday night read. Three chapters. 10:05 to 10:20.

The shocking Gove secret is revealed and in comes Duncan....

So Kane and Halliday get their just deserts. Uncompromisingly brutal. The mobile phone footage is so key here.

Night time read 10:00 to 10:25 3 chapters..

Night time read 9:40 to 9:55.

Two chapters - set up by Saskia and far too easy to steal Kane's phone.

Night time read after a break focusing on military and wargaming books/rules.

Read from 9:05 to 9:40 pm - 5 chapters.

Becoming less credible as it develops. Rescued by an acquaintance then breaks Gabe free from police station with help of yet another acquaintenance....

Short night time read 9:40 - 9:55 pm.

Now Daniel is really in it........why go on his own ?

Night time read 9:40 to 10:00 am - 2 chapters.

So one of the girls missing is recent - is Duncan involved ? Gabe is now an active ally too........

Gabe's character is well drawn and sympathetic - if anything more than Daniel......

Night time read 9:30 to 10:00 - 5 chapters.

How many more people can Daniel aggravate and assault - streetwise trick with the man in the orange apron though.

Night tome read 5 chapters 9:10 to 9:40.

And Daniel is a good samaritan too......the level of damaged characters in this book are just a little too much......

Night time read 9:50 to 10:15. Three chapters.

Now we are into the 10 people mystery..
