Knife Edge

When Sean Doyle receives his first message from Robert Neville, he has only seven hours in which to save London - and the Northern Ireland peace process - from disaster. Neville is an explosives expert in the British Army, but peace in the Province has ripped a hole in his life. His demands are simple: to be re-united with his daughter, Lisa. His threats are terrifying: a series of bombs to be detonated in the centre of the capital every hour until he has the girl. Already responsible for a string of callous attacks on Irish public figures on both sides of the political divide, Neville has to be stopped before the cease-fire is dealt a fatal blow. As a member of the Counter Terrorist Unit, Doyle knows his own days are numbered by the cessation of The Troubles. He's close to understanding Neville's mind - closer, in fact, than it is safe to be - but now, forced to toy with the life of an innocent girl and trust the words of a cold-hearted assassin, Doyle knows only one impulse: to find Neville before London is reduced to rubble and before his own violent instincts propel him towards self-destruction... *** 'More twists than a contortionist's convention... empty your piggy bank and buy a copy.' -Kerrang 'Shaun Hutson is an expert in the art of keeping the reader turning the pages... the energy of their telling is overwhelming.' -Time Out
