Thriller
07:45am A monk lies dead in Snowdonia, a knife protruding from his
throat. A young family is being held at gunpoint in a house
in Wimbledon. The mission has begun. 08:56am
A London Underground train is stationary in a tunnel, four
hundred passengers trapped inside. All efforts to
communicate with it have been met with silence. 09:15am
DCI Ed Mallory has just started his day. The Met’s top
hostage negotiator is about to discover that, today, an
underground train is not the only thing on the line. In this modern-day thriller set in the subway tunnels
beneath London, DCI Ed Mallory of the London police faces
the greatest challenge of his brilliant, if somewhat
unconventional, career as a hostage crisis negotiator.
Blinded in a grenade blast during the course of only his
second official negotiation, Mallory has over the ensuing
years developed other faculties to compensate for the lack
of sight, including an acute sense of hearing and
penetrating insight into the twisted workings of the
criminal mind. Driven and obsessive, Mallory now faces a
high-stakes showdown with a psychopath who combines
religious fanaticism and a chilling disregard for human
life. Will Mallory's skills be enough to save London from a
baptism by blood?
