Summary

New York isn't ready for Britain's most dangerous ex-assassin....

John Milton has finally found a place to escape the bloodshed: off-season Coney Island. No tourists. No special ops. Just peace and quiet. But when a local boy witnesses a grisly murder, Milton can't resist investigating.

Milton uncovers a vicious drug kingpin and a group of crooked cops from a notorious precinct known as The Alamo. Against such dangerous foes, Milton's quest for redemption could come to an end.

The 11th book in the USA Today best-selling John Milton series delivers thrills, action and twists you just won't see coming.

Good book for a journey

Have read a couple in the John Milton series so knew what to expect. He is a bad guy turned (very) good and David Thorpe certainly does him justice. Was an especially enjoyable read as I had just been in New York and Brooklyn. While I wouldn't say that this is good literature, it is well written and good when you can't concentrate too deeply such as travelling or a work out at the gym.

Hope this is not John's last adventure

The last n the present series and just as good as the first book. Let's hope John Milton will return soon.

Brilliant as usual.

Dawson never disappoints. I've read all the Milton books at least twice. original, intricate plots, well formed characters, with the best narration I have ever heard. in comparison reacher becomes wooden and predictable. thoroughly recommended.
