Product Description

Synopsis

It's the oldest story in the world: Boy meets Girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl. But when the boy is Nick Sharman, and the girl has a violent ex-jailbird as an old boyfriend, who promises extreme retribution on anyone who gets involved with her, it's never going to be that simple...and both Sharman...and the girl are looking at a lot of trouble. What with a bent brief planning an audacious multi-million pound robbery with a bunch of heavy duty thugs in tow, a beautiful sister who is a fast track CID officer, and enough ordnance to stock the Woolwich Arsenal, the scene is set for a savage and bloody confrontation under the streets of the City of London which ends literally explosively, with only one man standing. And guess who that is. The latest Sharman shows there is life in the old dog yet, if only just. It's the oldest story in the world: Boy meets Girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl.

4.0 out of 5 stars The end of Sharman?, 10 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Mark Timlin writes a series of books about a South London private detective called Nick Sharman. A former police detective, he was dismissed for disciplinary reasons.

The books have tight, fast-moving plots that keep the reader engrossed until the end of the book. A small niggle is the brevity of the books, typically 200-250 pages in length.

In this novel, Sharman seems to be getting old and the work drying up.

However, a chance meeting one Sunday morning sets the ball rolling for his latest (mis)adventure, which is just about the usual Sharman caper.

Someone is on to a nice little earner and Nick would certainly have preferred to remain in ignorance, but when people he knows are betraying other people he knows and the body count gets off the mark, then he finds himself all too involved.

As usual, there is a nice twist near the end when true colours are revealed, but one wonders with the final outcome whether this is likely to be the final Sharman novel.

Lets hope not.

Unusually, there is a technical error in this book. When the doorbell rings, he is carrying a Detonics .45. By the time his visitor is inside and sitting down, it has become a "miniature Colt M1911A1". I can only assume that the two guns in Sharmans cache had been swapped around when I wasn't (figuratively) looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharman gets even and dirty., 19 Nov 2000
This review is from: All the Empty Places (A Nick Sharman thriller) (Hardcover)
Bad boy Nick Sharman is back and in love again, but then we all know this won't last. So when the girl dies, Nick decides to get even. He stumbles across a safty deposit box robery and decides to ruin it for the bad guy's. Armed with a lot of guns and a big knife, Shaman is out looking for blood.

Blood is also the first word of the book, so you know your in for a treat. Sharman has never been better...
