Thriller
A page-turning contemporary thriller on an epic scale by the British author R.J. Hopkins, In The Thick Of It is an intoxicating concoction of cinematic action-packed drama framed within a beguiling examination of sexual identity and ambiguity. It is set in a modern world plagued by insurgency and terrorism, over 4 Β½ years between 2008 and 2012, and is a roller-coaster ride full of shocks and surprises with the action taking place in real locations in New York City, Venice and Rome, and London and Cornwall in the UK. Not for the faint-hearted! With a number of set pieces full of high drama, notably including a multiple car chase by the shore near Coney Island in New York, a violent gun battle after a memorial service in a Russian Orthodox church on the streets of Manhattan, a gripping torture scene in the crypt of a church in Venice, an attempted rape in a hotel room in Newquay in the UK and a dramatic night-time chase on nearby Towan beach, the action never lets up, culminating in a final `surprise twist' ending. With the author's insight into complex and intriguing characters, In The Thick Of It should be on everyone's 'must read' list.
