Présentation de l'éditeur

Arthur Chigwell. Grieving father of a son brutally beheaded by Iraqi extremists in 2004, desperate for revenge on all those he holds responsible. Jarvis Collingwood. Ex-Army sniper, his own brother gunned down in front of him in Iraq. Cold, calculating and willing. Leon Deshpande. Specialist security adviser and investigator, used to getting his man, especially if the price is right. Naomi Lonsdale. Young and naïve, easily taken in and horribly used. The London 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony. Dotted around the vast stadium: all of the gunman's targets, enjoying an evening of spectacular celebration, little knowing how the night or even their lives will end. The London Sniper is a chilling contemporary thriller exploring the ultimate revenge.

Biographie de l'auteur

Daniel Pascoe is a new author, using the novel as a mean to seek honest explanations for the often inexplicable. A Londoner born and bred, he has lived and worked in the north-east of England for the last twenty-seven years. He has never been in the Army and would never take up a rifle to kill anybody; he's a pacifist; he's a doctor: he looks after people, tries to make them better. He lives peacefully on Teesside with his wife, teenage daughters and cats, who all equally claim to be pacifists.
