Summary: Killer Thriller
Review: Here's an original and refreshing thriller. Part crime novel with a cyber/SF thriller riff. The story revolves around 2 characters Robin Carlson daughter of a U.S. general and all round funky,rebllious grrrl,oh,and part-time bouncer on the side. The 2nd character is Wolf a homeless man and pavement artist who's past is a mystery.Unfortunately Wolf seems to be on someone's hitlist so trouble surrounds his every squat.These 2 inhabit a dark world of experimental drugs and the strong preying on the vulnerable and the lost.All set against the underbelly of Amsterdam(Van Der Valk eat your heart out). A terrific thriller Sue Rann is an author to watch. Oh, and watch out for the men in black,they do exist you know.

Review: I am so happy with this book! When people give books as gifts, sometimes they're way off the mark - but not with this one. I didn't mean to read it so quickly, but it grabbed me on page one and didn't let me get any sleep till I'd finished it! (Well, OK, maybe one or two hours' naptime) The two main characters rock: there's Robin, an American girl in Europe. Her heroine is Lara Croft, but she's more like a disaster looking for a place to happen! She's smart-mouthed, sassy, and rather vulnerable under a tough outer shell. My fave was the other main character, Wolf. He's a vagrant with a mysterious past, and is rather sexily shambly and helpless, as well as being pretty damn heroic when the chips are down, but without being a 'hero' in the usual sense of the word. Ffwwoarr!! Move over Harrison Ford! The plot's very dark and X-Filesish, and it marries with the setting of the wintertime city so well, the atmosphere's really eerie and shadowy. I'd not only recommend this book, I'm a wine buyer, so I'd recommend a comfy armchair, a nice robust Cab-Merlot, a packet of biscuits, a pillow and a warm fire - 'cos this book seriously won't let you put it down till you've finished it. Don't say I didn't warn you! And have fun! HAPPY HAL ;-)
