THRILLER OF THE WEEK

In post-Brexit Britain, hitman Michael North is sent on a mission by a shadowy secret service agency to kill a rising Tory star. A complex plot involving crooked MPs, terrorists, a privatised British army and a schoolgirl computer genius is further complicated by the fact that troubled anti-hero North, a former soldier, has a bullet lodged in his brain and could drop dead at any moment. A highly promising fiction debut.
