goodreads

Here's a story of organized blackmail that leads into a chain of murders. If you are/were a JHC fan you would agree that he's held his reputation of being a wonderful mystery writer and confirms it further in this novel. I've always enjoyed his writing since childhood and how he effortlessly brings his stories to life. I mean, you read a book and not have even one bad review to make about it!

The story starts off with the death of Roy English, the younger brother to the protagonist, Nick English, a successful business man.

Then progresses to show us that Roy's death was not suicidal as claimed, but in fact a murder. Hence English goes on a search for his brother's killer and unearths some gory details involving him.

Chase takes us on an adventure with this mystery novel of setups, dirty cops, murders, a touch of romance and so much more.

This crime thriller gives you the chills and is indeed a page turner.
