Description
'Blistering, whip-smart... Exit Wounds has pace, heart, conviction and some of the finest action writing this side of the Reacher novels... a masterclass in thriller writing' - Liam McIlvanney
----------Dead men sometimes do tell tales... When the death of an old friend means a trip back to Northern Ireland, Connor Fraser welcomes the distraction from his troubles at home in Stirling. His estrangement from his partner, Jen, is growing ever-more painful, and he can only watch helplessly as his beloved grandmother's health deteriorates. When he spots three familiar faces at the funeral, faces with ties to Northern Ireland's bloody past, Connor suspects his friend's death was more than a tragic accident. But before he can investigate, he's lured into a trap and attacked. Pursued by ruthless professionals who don't care if they bring Connor to their bosses alive or dead, he must go off-grid. As he tries to untangle the web of deceit that has ensnared him, he's faced with choices, and losses, that threaten to break him. A mystery of the past could destroy the peace of the future. With his back to the wall, can Connor unravel it all, before it's too late?---------- Praise for Neil Broadfoot: 'A true rising star of crime fiction' - Ian Rankin'I've followed the Connor Fraser series from the start and it just gets better. If you like Reacher, you'll LOVE this. An action thriller but with more emotion, more heart, more nuance, more...everything. Broadfoot is a master craftsman.' - Helen Fields'Wonderfully grisly and grim, and a cracking pace' - James Oswald'A frantic, pacy read with a compelling hero' - Steve CavanaghCritic Reviews
A blistering, whip-smart thriller, moving deftly between Belfast and Scotland to trace the Troubles' toxic legacy, Exit Wounds combines the delicacy of a scalpel with the impact of a sledgehammer. This book has pace, heart, and conviction, and some of the finest action writing this side of the Reacher novels. With Exit Wounds, Neil Broadfoot has produced a masterclass in thriller writing -- Liam McIlvanney, author of THE QUAKER
