THE ENGLISHMAN
A nail-biting international thriller with a powerful new hero ex-Legionnaire Raglan, the Englishman
A vicious Russian killer is on the hunt in London. His target is Jeremy Summers, a British banker with a secret that could unravel MI6 intelligence sources involved in the war against drug-funded terrorism. As Summers and his son set off with their driver, an ambush awaits the driver is killed and the son runs, sent to a hiding place, with desperate instructions from his father, who is snatched and held prisoner.
Police and intelligence resources throw their net wide, but as the hours slip by and Summers' chances of survival dwindle, they are forced to bring in an outsider, but someone who knows Summers well. Raglan a rogue Englishman who served in the French Foreign Legion. Someone skilled, experienced, but unaccountable and sometimes unpredictable. And when a female Russian cop arrives in London the stakes suddenly become much higher
From seeds sown in a little-known war in Central Africa to the streets of London and then to Warsaw, the chase is on as the killer is discovered in the winter-ravaged wasteland of a remote Russian penal colony. A place that holds Russia's most brutal murderers. A place of death and retribution. Of no escape. Raglan may be able to find his way in but can he manage to get out, alive?
David Gilman is known for the cinematic and pacy quality of his writing, from his epic bestselling MASTER OF WAR series, to his acclaimed standalones THE LAST HORSEMAN (shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Prize) and NIGHT FLIGHT TO PARIS, his recent exciting World War II thriller. Now, with THE ENGLISHMAN, and more to follow in a proposed series, Gilman raises the stakes for his readers worldwide. A brilliant new direction for a writer who never disappoints.
