And then the lights go out.
Over twelve hours of unremitting darkness, Manhattan dissolves into chaos. Amid looting, conspiracy and blackout, Victor and Raven play a vicious game of cat and mouse that the city will never forget.

Expertly choreographed - few writers working in the genre at present can rival Wood's fluency at creating action scenes
Reading a Wood thriller about enigmatic assassin-for-hire Victor is like a high-velocity ride on a bullet
Fists, feet and bullets fly in this fast-paced thriller from the dark side of international espionage as gun-for-hire Victor tries work out if he should trust Raven, an equally enigmatic assassin, or kill her. Great insights into the tradecraft and psychology of the professional hunter.
If you love Lee Child and you're looking for something new to keep you going, then Tom Wood is the man for you
