The only way to hunt down a killer is to become
one…
After two long years spent in a secret British
prison, Nadia Laksheva is suddenly granted her freedom. Yet there is a
dangerous price to pay for her release: she must retrieve the Russian nuclear
warhead stolen by her deadliest enemy, a powerful and ruthless terrorist known
only as The Client.
But her mysterious nemesis is always one step ahead
and the clock is ticking. In 37 hours, the warhead will explode, reducing the
city of London to a pile of ash. Only this time, Nadia is prepared to pull the
trigger at any cost…
The deadly trail will take her from crowded Moscow
to the silent streets of Chernobyl, but will Nadia find what she is looking for
before the clock hits zero?
The gripping second novel in
J.F. Kirwan’s brilliant spy thriller series. Perfect for fans of Charles
Cumming, Mark Dawson and Adam Brookes.
My Thoughts:
37 Hours is the second in the Nadia Laksheva Spy Thriller series, I read and reviewed the first 66 Metres here. Although 37 Hours can be read as a standalone I recommend reading 66 metres first so that you can build a bit of background information.
Nadia has been released from prison after being put there at the behest of MI6. Although her release is a double edged sword as she now has a dangerous mission to retrieve a Russian warhead. Set in London, Chernobyl and Moscow this book is a high octane thriller and yet again the author has pulled out all the stops. Will Nadia retrieve the warhead before it is too late and London is decimated.
Yet again I found Nadia to be strong and likeable and it was great to see her character develop even further in this novel. Old characters and new help to keep the pace, which it has to be said is pretty relentless.
There is violence in the story and sometimes brutal, I would say however that it remains necessary to the plot, nothing is gratuitous.
Full of action and suspense I now cannot wait to read the next instalment of this exciting and exhilarating thriller series. The wonderful prose and non stop action was enough to keep me entertained on every page.
