A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'Stunning... Awesomely powerful, fabulously written and with a hero who is also a villain that you cannot help sympathising with, this novel is simply unmissable' Daily Mail

'A brilliant thriller: unbearably tense, stomach-churningly frightening' Observer

Sooner or later, everybody pays.

Gerry Fegan, a former contract killer, is haunted by the ghosts of the 12 people he has slaughtered. Every night, on the point of losing his mind, he drowns their screams in drink. His solution: kill those who engineered their deaths.

From the greedy politicians to the corrupt security forces, the street thugs to the complacent bystanders who let it happen, all are called to account. But when Fegan's vendetta threatens to derail a hard won truce and destabilise the government, old comrades and enemies alike want him dead.

Everybody pays - the question is how, and when...

'An astonishing debut. Brilliantly conceived, masterfully written; both a heart-pounding thriller and a stunning examination of responsibility and revenge' Jeff Abbott

'The best first novel I've read in years. It grabs you by the throat' James Ellroy
