Life seems perfect for John Meron. Blissfully married with two children, he has always managed to stay away from trouble. Dr Ralph Teller is in his 70s, MS has confined him to a wheelchair, but grief has driven him to investigate the night of his wife’s death. She was one of the victims of the siege. Teller has painstakingly collated information, interviewed witnesses and reconstructed the peripheral lives of those involved, finally arriving at a showdown with Sketty, the lynchpin of the whole affair. Faced with the evidence Sketty is forced to open up but how many layers of obfuscation, lying and self-justification will be admit to. Will he really come clean. Sketty isn’t the man everyone thinks he is but just how dirty is he? Emerging with his lawyer, Henry reveals to DI Ray Mason that he knows that happened to Kitty, and the person who murdered her. The transitions between past and present were so smoothly done that I got so entrained and loved this book so much. I wanted to know the truth as well and more so after each chapter shows a new layer of lies and mischief, hidden secrets that come out when some people thought they were really deep buried and I couldn’t stop reading honestly. You are enjoying a hike with three of your friends in the Scottish highlands when you encounter a mysterious girl.

A twisty engaging thriller where we don’t know who to trust. The main question that remains unanswered throughout the book is whether former detective Chris Sketty is a good guy who happens to find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time or is he part of something more sinister.When Max Iversson is offered five grand for work that will only take a matter of hours, the ex-mercenary accepts without giving it much thought. Sketty injured in the line of duty and praised and created by the press as a hero but he has been slowly robbed of everything he held dear - his family, his career and now he faces yet another ... issue. Not everyone believes his hero status is as deserved as the public may have been led to believe, is he an hero, or was he a bad cop ! On trial for murder, Ray is surprisingly broken out by armed men who want him to kill Alastair in an effort to prevent him from ascending to power. Although he successfully completes the assignment, Kent mysteriously vanishes and dead bodies start turning up. Good Cop, Bad Cop is more of the same although this time ( without giving any plot away ) I found the story to be at times a bit unbelievable…..that is until the end when it all made much more sense and my grumbles became ‘right, now I see why…’

Moments later, a call from a mysterious terrorism organization warns that more vicious mayhem will be unleashed after twelve hours. I am hoping and praying that they will bring this one to the screen, as a fan of Line of Duty I would absolutely lap it up! I struggled to get through this book and almost left it unfinished multiple times, but it was gifted to me, so I struggled on. I wasn't going to leave a review, but this book currently averages 4.13 stars, and I feel like bringing it down a little out of spite. A furious and clever plot, makes this a simple pleasure to read. A bereaved policeman accepts an undercover mission to root out far right corruption in the police force. Needless to say he is over his head in next to no time. Subject to such a punishing pace of reveals, twists and various cavorting that you wince for him. Chris Sketty spends a lot of time thinking about the before and after of events that have defined his life, his choices and the paths he decides to take along the way. It takes him a while to comprehend that many of those have been manipulated and mapped out for him. Knowing his predictable behaviour patterns have made it easier for others to do so - or do they?
