A sensational read 14 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I made the mistake of starting this book on a week-end. Mistake because i could not put the book down and my week-end went out of the window. I read a few of Simon Kernick's novels, but this one in my humble opinion is the best of the lot.
The book starts slowly and draws you in until you are just hooked.
The main characters are Sean Egan an undercover cop and DI Tina Boyd. Egan's job is to infiltrate a top london gang and Boyd's job is to bring a serial killer to justice. Cleverly Mr Kernick intertwines both characters till you think we have reached a very satisfying result. However Mr Kernick keeps us glued to our chairs for another chapter and sadly the book ends.

All i can say is that hopefully Mr Kernick will bring back Egan and Boyd in a future novel as together they will make an incredible team.

One Of The Best Yet 12 Jan 2011
By Steve Horsfall - Author / Writer TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Simon Kernick's books always hook you from the first line to the last and `The Last 10 Seconds' is no exception. I would put it up there as my favourite Kernick book alongside `The Crime Trade'. You get two perspectives as a complex series of crimes is unravelled & from two cops who are both anti-heroes, Tina Boyd and Sean Egan. Neither plays by the rule book, and both have a personal need for revenge. Kernick likes a good anti-hero but for me Undercover Cop Egan was his best yet and I hope he returns in another book. The story is really all about Boyd and Egan, who both admit they are `too alike' by the end, but the central crime plot is also strong - a serial killer's crimes are used to mask a murder that connects the Government, corrupt policeman and murderous underworld gangs. All is revealed at great pace - roll on the next Kernick adaventure.

Engrossing tale 21 April 2011
By Midnight TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought I'd already reviewed this book but my previous review seems to have disappeared into cyberspace!

The tale is based around undercover cop Sean Egan and DI Tina Boyd and set in London.

The two separate story lines are skillfully joined and brought successfully together as the narrative unfolds.

As always with Simon's books, this engrossing tale gripped from the start.

The author has honed his exceptional writing skills with each new novel and manages to captivate his readers from the very start providing convincing thrillers each time.

Excellent characters and a gripping story ensure a thoroughly entertaining roller coaster of a read.

I highly recommend this book and once you've been enthralled by this try The Payback - it's brilliant as well!

An empty shell of a building deep in the heart of the city. Its early, the first spears of bright sunlight advancing through the holes in the wall where the windows are meant to be, and here I am watching my blood form a visibly growing pool on the dusty concrete floor in front of me. &quote;
