At the opening of this book Jay McCauley is making a go of her relationship with DI Tom Sutton of the Bristol police, with the disturbing presence of the enigmatic Max Blake safely removed to South America - or so Jay thinks until he pops up in her garden one morning - she attributes her increased heartbeat to the fact that Tom is in the shower, but a girl often deludes herself. But his is not a social call, Max says he needs her help, his sister is sick in Brussels and he has to go to her, but he cannot miss an important meeting so he has booked Jay on Eurostar tomorrow to attend the meeting in his place. The meeting is with his friend Solomon Neil. It won't take long, says Max, you will be back by the evening. But explaining it to Tom is a different matter, to get past an awkward situation Jay suggests that Tom invite his daughter Sofie for stay over. As Tom has been trying to engineer his daughter and his girlfriend to meet he accepts with alacrity, and Jay breaths a sigh of relief.
The meeting with Sol is effected quickly, too quickly, hardly has she greeted him, than he is murdered in front of her. Although, Jay was witness and clearly saw the assassin, her description is ignored by the police, no one seems to believe her. The word is that Max Blake is the murderer; and he is now a wanted man.
This thriller moves at a fast pace, as Jay tries to reach the right people to prove Blake's innocence, but there seems no one that she or Blake can trust. So Jay sets out to uncover the truth as to why Blake is clearly being set-up, and even his own people don't seem to want to help or believe in his innocence. It's a heart-stopping rollercoaster of events, that worsens with every hour that passes. And not just for her, the unknown enemy threatens her family, and murders an old friend, then comes after her.
Again, a book that deprived me of my sleep, as I sat up into the early hours to finish it. The combination of a death defying investigation, and the daily problems of Tom's teenage daughter, not to mention the complication of Max Blake is a winning formula. Each element only serves to enhance the other making this a not to be missed read. Highly recommended.

A step back over previous entry
19 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
I've read all C.J. (or Caroline) Carver's books, and I found this one to be the weakest. While the plotting is as frantic as ever, and possibly more so, the heroine, Jay McCaulay, seems to have taken a stupid pill. Over and over she does things a person of her skills and background would not do. Also, she escapes death more times than anyone could. While that might be overlooked because it is by no means unheard of these type of books, McCaulay's total evaporation of character and morals makes her out to be a person of no backbone, which is a departure from what we know of her from previous information. Carver needs to get a firmer grasp of who she wants Jay to be before the next entry into the series.
