Shadow Pursuit - Alistair Birch - political /crime thriller
Kellie and Sam both have siblings that have gone missing, Kellie having just seen
her sister bundled into an unknown vehicle. Eva has a new boss and has been
seconded to MI5 for a case of possible people trafficking. When she meets
up with her, very shortly afterwards she is killed and it appears Eva is also a
target. Fortunately she manages to get away. James is Sam’s brother and
having been captured has now escaped, little knowing every move is being
tracked. A body has been found possibly infected with a toxin- something
that was found in several cadavers earlier. Is there a biological toxin being
spread and if so the team needs to get onto the source pronto? Kellie and
Sam track some clues across London to try and find their siblings after
finding some anomalies on a map in James’ flat. A clever premise and
some complex characters with a plot to keep the grey matter active and
one with lots of action along the way (and even a little romance!). Skillful
crafted writing brings this together with trepidation along the way to
keep the pages turning ever faster (!!) A brilliant debut novel and I look
forward to the next in the series.
