Product Description

Meet Joe 'High Risk' Hussy. An ex-Secret Service agent and a private detective with a biting wit, he is a man who inhabits an extremely violent world.

When Richard Noble disappears after getting mixed up with a terrorist network his brother enlists Hussy's help.

But Hussy, who trained with the SAS 'Hooligans', quickly realises this is no ordinary missing persons case - and he is going to need every survival skill he learned in the special forces to stay alive.

As his search takes him from the slums of Liverpool to the Canadian Rockies, Hussy enlists the help of a high-class hooker and a superstar sniper who packs a firearm in his golf bag.

Nothing will stop Hussy getting the answers he need - except death itself.

"Mix together Marlowe, Chandler and Spillane, and add to it the magic, wit and style of Colin Dunne and you have this book." - The Daily Mail.

Red Alert is a slick, stylish thriller by one of the master writers of the genre. It will appeal to fans of Ian Fleming, Len Deighton, and Jack Higgins.

Colin Dunne's writing has been widely praised.

'Cleverly plotted and genuinely witty’ (Jack Higgins)

‘Crisp characters, amazing pace, every low lunch in the book on target’
(The Sunday Times)

‘Sharp, funny and stylish’ (Yorkshire Post)

4.0 out of 5 stars Strong, Finely Crafted Thriller 1 Sep 2012
By Karen
The SAS hero has become a staple for popular fiction in the last few years, but Colin Dunne has a different take on the genre in Red Alert. His main character is a soldier turned detective, and he has to use his brain as much as his muscle to crack down the mystery at the heart of the story. There are some neat twists, and some memorable, oddball characters, including a whore with a heart of gold unlike any you have seen before. There is less realism than you get from most other military writers and less out and out violence, but the writing is far better and the whole story is pacy. Red Alert is good, mindless fun.

It has a slow plot, many grammatical and spelling mistakes. Only 45% through book at present, but not very impressed so far.
