Format:Hardcover
The opening of this book is heart-in-your-mouth stuff. Captain Jay McCauley awakes in a hotel room feeling dreadful. Staggering to the window, she opens the curtains and realises she is in Moscow - but she cannot remember how she got there. When she contacts the hotel desk she discovers that she has lost five days of her life.
Her memory is patchy, but she pieces together that she has been kidnapped and drugged, and the last true memory she has is looking for her Aunt Elizabeth's husband Duncan, who had just disappeared. I said that the opening of this book is heart-in-your-mouth stuff - well, the tension never lets up. When Jay returns to the UK she starts again looking for Duncan and discovers things about the supposed happy family man that lie uneasily with her. Soon she is embroiled in lies, deceit, and with a powerful Russian oligarch. Her investigations lead her to Siberia and back to injustices perpetrated many years ago.
On a personal front, DI Tom Sutton is still around, but their relationship has moved out rather than in, and Jay is still unsure if she wants it to move back to where they were. Meanwhile the enigmatic Max Blake reappears. Personally I would grab Max and ditch Tom in a heartbeat, but sheesh! what do I know - all my relationships have been a disaster. Best not take relationship advise from me, Jay.
This is high adventure, a real thriller. I sat up until 3.30am to finish it - no way could I go to sleep before I knew the outcome. Very highly recommended.

Authors/Publishers Book Description/Synopsis
Page-turning action with female sleuth Captain Jay McCaulay - When Jay McCaulay wakes up, drugged, in a strange hotel room; she knows things can only get worse. She's in Moscow, and she has no idea how she got there. Memory shot to pieces, Jay returns to the UK to find her beloved uncle Duncan missing. Soon Jay is entangled in a web of lies and betrayals that stretches from Newbury Racecourse to Siberia.
What Do I Think?
This story starts with a genuine hook; "Captain Jay McCauley awakes in a hotel room feeling dreadful. Staggering to the window, she opens the curtains and realises she is in Moscow, but she cannot remember how she got there. When she contacts the hotel desk she discovers that she has lost five days of her life."
This story from a much switched on story-weaver is an extreme adventure, an honest thriller of classic design. I just could not put this book down and look forward to reading more from C. J Carver this story really deserves a 4 stars, very highly recommended.

Jay saves the day (again)
7 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover
C.J. Carver, who also writes under the name Caroline Carver, brings Jay McCauley back for a second entry into this series. While Jay is supposedly retired from the military, she sees a lot more action and probably shoots a lot more people than she ever did while a part of the British army. This time the action is spread between Britain and Siberia, and Jay is conflicted between her tough guys Max and Tom. She needs the pair because she does seem to a magnet for the worst type of trouble--the kind that can get you killed. There is quite a bit of British phraseology, but I like the change from much else that I read. I heartily recommend.
Capt. Jay is back

This is book # 2 in an excellant British series. There is plenty of excitment, spies, rough stuff and the good guys try harder. You will love C.J. Carver and Capt. Jay.
