As the net draws tighter around the killers, DI Rio Wray must do whatever it takes to keep Nikki alive. But when you're dealing with criminals, there's no line they won't cross . . . In a kill-or-be-killed-world, who will be first to pull the trigger

Reviews

Praise for Dreda Say Mitchell - :

Breathless from the first word and thrilling to the last

Wonderful vivid writing and a truly original voice.

Dreda Say Mitchell is right up there at the forefront of British crime fiction

A terrific murder mystery full of twists and turns... here is a writer who knows how to keep you gripped. Wow.

Spanning less than twenty-four hours, this is one of those spellbinding thrillers that literally sucks you in immediately... By the end of the book I was physically exhausted. Vendetta is a fantastic thriller. I suggest you strap in as you are in for a very bumpy and exhilarating ride!

An extremely well written fast-moving chase thriller, violent yet at the same time intelligently confronting the issues of loyalties and betrayals inevitably raised by undercover activities. Mitchell improves with every book - The Times

With this fast-paced, gritty and relentlessly violent expedition into the shadowy world of an undercover operative, Mitchell proves that she can go head-to-head with the best of her male peers in tough-guy action fiction. - Irish Independent
