Anna Hill is an aspiring singer. When she is given the opportunity to work in Portugal, she takes it. This is her chance to finally kick-start her career.
But the offer comes at a price and becoming involved with the Syndicate is risky. To survive, Anna will need all her instincts to work out who she can really trust . . . G.J. Minett studied at Cambridge and then spent many years as a teacher of foreign languages. He studied for an MA in Creative Writing at the University of Chichester, and won the 2010 Chapter One Prize for unpublished novels with the opening chapter of The Hidden Legacy.

And how one action can have unforeseen consequences that resonate for decades. CRIME FAMILY SAGAS ARE STILL POPULAR: The success of multi-bestsellers like Kimberley Chambers and Sky drama Gangs of London show that this is still an exciting genre for readers TV PLAYS A LARGE PART IN THE SUCCESS: Shows like Peaky Blinders, Top Boy and the upcoming Gangs of London are fascinating to viewers, who want to know what living in this world is actually like THE SYMPATHETIC HIT MAN: Readers love a good baddy and in Jon Kavanagh, an ex-soldier who is tempted into a world of violence after leaving the army, they will find a sympathetic character. Fiercely loyal, he lives by his own code and when he's faced with leaving a young girl alive, or killing her because she's seen him, he does the right thing - and that could be his downfall THE STRONG FEMALE LEAD: In Anna we have a vulnerable, yet feisty female lead who is tricked into playing a part in something she doesn't understand - but that doesn't mean she'll go along with it Brilliant characterisation and such a tense, winding plot. I loved the way Graham wove the story together A damaged but engaging central character, sharp dialogue, twisty plot and great pay-off - The Syndicate has all the ingredients of an excellent thriller The Syndicate is a gripping story that builds to a stunning conclusion. GJ Minett's Kavanagh is a complex and original creation; a man haunted by his past and living on borrowed time Captivating, cleverly written, unputdownable. I devoured The Syndicate in one night. Minett and crime at its finest I absolutely loved it. I raced through this book. A beautifully written, character-focused novel that reminded me of George Pelecanos at his best. Definitely one of my reads of the year so far Pacey, heart-stopping and poignant With Kavanagh, Minett has created the ultimate hero - dark, dangerous but with a depth of heart. If I was in trouble, I'd want Kavanagh in my corner. The Syndicate is a truly sinuous suspense that when you think you've got it worked out, has a resolution that snaps back and bites. More please In The Syndicate, G.J Minett has brought us a compelling, intricately-plotted novel peopled with fascinating characters, particularly the brilliantly drawn Jon Kavanagh, in whose outcome I was completely invested throughout.
