John Sutherland (4)

When negotiator Alex Lewis is called to a bridge in London to talk down a potential jumper he does not realise what this will lead to. Becca Palmer is a young political advisor who claims she was having an affair with a senior politician, one who may or may not be involved in corruption. Her mental health is fragile and Alex, his partner Pip and a journalist they encounter have to decide whether or not to take her claims seriously.
I really enjoyed this book. It is not overly highbrow and is show more quite short so I skipped through it in a couple of hours but it was gripping enough to keep me hooked for that time. There is loads of cliche here but it is backed up by experience, Sutherland has lived the life of his protagonist Alex, and the knowledge and detail shows. As a quick exciting thriller it works very well. show less
