If you are planning a drive into the country this book might not be the best travelling companion! Chris Hammer discovered thriller writing after writing several other novels and fell in love with the genre and this fast paced tale takes you into a hot dusty world where no-one and nothing is at it seems at first. Best read beside some water for when all that dust and heat description gets too overwhelming!
