A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Detective Nick Belsey—one of London's sharpest but most unprincipled investigators, first introduced in the acclaimed The Hollow Man—is plunged into a perplexing mystery of secrets, danger, and suspense beneath the city's streets.

Trouble once again finds Nick Belsey when he takes a date to an abandoned bomb shelter buried beneath the heart of London. One minute the young woman is there, and the next, she's gone, mysteriously vanishing into the dark labyrinth of secret tunnels. A seasoned cop with a bad reputation, Nick knows that if he reports her disappearance, he'll be the prime suspect.

Instead, he's going to find her. It's not just her life at stake—it's his, too. Determined to discover who is down in those forgotten tunnels and how far this secret network of underground passages extends, he plunges headfirst into the investigation—and into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a ruthless enemy who would rather let an innocent woman die than reveal Cold War secrets. A subversive thriller with the superb characterization of classic Lawrence Block and the psychological suspense of Sophie Hannah, Deep Shelter is a compulsively readable mystery from a master of literary suspense.

Revue de presse

"A pitch-perfect portrait of contemporary London and a beguiling bastard of a hero" (Val McDermid)

"Makes the capital as eerie as Le Carré’s Berlin" (Evening Standard)

"Relentless...explosive" (Mail on Sunday)

"Want a readable yet beautifully crafted thriller with original characterisation, fabulous plot and superb pacing? Tick, tick, tick. Deep Shelter will keep you guessing and turning pages right the way through." (Ham & High)

"Heaven, I'm in heaven... in fact, I'm in Hampstead, where Detective Nick Belsey is based, and he's the coolest cop you'll have come across in ages. London through his eyes is as atmospheric as a drawing by Gustave Doré... This demands to be read before the television adaptation." (Kate Saunders Saga Magazine)
