A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

WHEN YOU'RE DEFUSING A BOMB EVERY DECISION IS LIFE OR DEATH... YOUR LIFE
Tom Harrison is the Tick Tock Man. He has the most dangerous job in Britain: defusing terrorist bombs. A job that demands nerves of steel and courage to match.
But his skill is being tested to the limit by a new IRA bombing campaign. It's different from the others, each device more deadly and cunning that the last, each more difficult for him to neutralise. It's almost as if someone is testing him, trying to find his limits - a long-dead adversary reaching out to him from beyond the grave.
Time and luck are running out. From Belfast to London, Harrison is pitched into a very personal battle - a battle where just one mistake will be his last.
From the author of COLD MONDAY and ROGUE ELEMENT, THE TICK TOCK MAN is a terrifying, brilliantly researched journey into the dark, claustrophobic world of the professional bomb-disposal man.
