Synopsis
Summer 2005, London. The city swelters in unusual heat, and the Tube is packed beyond its limits. A sense of danger is in the air; the red alert is on for al-Qaeda terrorists. So, when a young woman falls to her death in front of a rush hour train, panic spreads rapidly. At first it looks like an accident. Until they lift the body, and see the knife. Ex-SAS man Andy Brewster, invalided home from a spell in Baghdad, works undercover for the Metropolitan police with his bomb expert partner, Burgess. A second murder follows within days, another woman waiting for a train. Both had contented private lives; both were last seen talking on their phones. Again, the CCTV cameras fail to pick up. After the July 7th bombs, the terrorist fear accelerates. Beth Hardy who runs a gourmet food-shop; her daughter, Imogen, a dancer; sad Celeste, with a terrible secret; Aisha, from the Whitechapel Road, breaking away from the family traditions; Ellie, a tourist from Wisconsin marooned in London; recently widowed Margaret, are all regular travellers on the Circle Line and thus potential victims. Brewster and Burgess find themselves in a race against time...

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Rush hour on the underground and a killer is at large in London, striking apparently haphazardly in a series of vicious attacks. Andy Brewster, ex-SAS, on sick leave from active service in Iraq, works undercover for the Metropolitan police with his bomb expert partner, Burgess. Together they must find the killer before he strikes again. So far the victims have all been women with no apparent connection. Beth Hardy, former caterer who now runs a gourmet food shop; her daughter Imogen, dancing at the National; sad Celeste with her terrible secret; widowed Margaret, in to shop; and American tourist, Ellie, stranded there alone. Each of them regularly travels by tube not knowing they could be potential victims. When the July 7 bombs go off and public awareness is raised, Brewster and Burgess have a race against time to apprehend the stalker. But danger comes not just from knives and bombs. Murder is deadlier when the heart is involved. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
