9781999765309: Killing State

Synopsis

"Terrific...highly recommended." LEE CHILD. "...more twists than a pretzel. ...a gritty, action-packed, page-turner." ANDY MCNAB. "High-octane...Great debut." SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB. The bullet in his brain isn't the problem. She is. Michael North is a hero, with a bullet in the brain to prove it. A bullet which has rewired his neural pathways and heightened his sense of intuition. A bullet which is driving him mad. Working for an extra-governmental agency called The Board, North knows one thing for sure. He is very good at killing very bad guys. But what happens when a hero is ordered to kill a good woman rather than a bad man? Because it turns out that rising political star, Honor Jones, MP, can't stop asking the right questions about the wrong people. He should follow orders. Shouldn't he? "...fast-paced, packed with action, and introduces a series hero to watch." MICK HERRON

À propos de l?auteur

Judith O'Reilly is the author of Wife in the North and A Year of Doing Good (both published by Viking Penguin, 2008 and 2013 respectively). Wife in the North reached number three in the UK bestsellers' chart and was in the top ten for five weeks. It was also a top ten bestseller in Germany. It sold into ten countries, was serialised by The Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph, was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, and was based on Judith's eponymous blog which was named as one of the top 100 blogs in the world by The Sunday Times. Judith's blog is credited with kicking off the popularity of domestic blogging in the UK. Wife in the North and A Year of Doing Good were both non-fiction. Killing State is a commercial political thriller and Judith's first novel. At least the first one she's allowed to leave the house without her. Judith is a former political producer with BBC 2's Newsnight and ITN's Channel 4 News, and a former education correspondent with The Sunday Times where she also covered politics, undercover reporting and general news. She still writes for The Sunday Times, and has acted as a strategic communications adviser for both government and business.
