Description
A very determined killer is seeking revenge on the four men responsible for his eight years in prison, and the murder of his wife and young son. The killer starts to put the knowledge he has acquired in prison into practice. As he begins to stalk his first victim Steve Burt and his team are asked to determine whether a serving RAF officer is a spy. If he is, then a kill order on him, issued by a clandestine MI5 department, will be enforced. Steve and his team grapple with MI5 and their demands, unaware that the officer has been targetted by an undercover assassin. Then the case involving the murder of two seemingly unrelated men is handed to them. With a lack of forensics, clues and witnesses and more murders, trying to track down an elusive killer is the most puzzling case the unit have had. This time Steve and the team have to use all their experience to resolve such difficult and demanding cases.
Reviews / Votes
I have been waiting far too long for the next installment in this wonderfully enthralling DCI Steve Burt series but has been well worth it!!! Consistently brilliant story telling as expected with interwoven plots full of suspense and ingenuity. With so many titles and brilliant authors in this genre we as readers are spoiled for choice but you must read not only this book but the whole series if you love crime fiction and police dramas full of murder, mystery and plot twists you will never expect. The Revenge has all of the characteristics of the previous DCI Steve Burt series - well written, fast paced, intriguing cases and great police work from the team that continue to grow and evolve as characters with every case. And as with the rest of the books it still feels fresh and original with new crimes, conspiracies and killings. If you have read any of the series before - read and enjoy. If you have never read any of the series before - start here, you will not be disappointed. RichardMore details
