About
Gangs of London meets Kimberley Chambers in this gripping thriller of betrayal and survival in a world where one mistake could cost you everything.
YOU THINK YOU'RE FREE, BUT THEY'LL NEVER LET YOU LEAVE . . .
Twenty years ago, Jon Kavanagh worked for a crime syndicate.
Then one night he made a mistake.
He left a witness at a crime scene. Alive.
Now, he is haunted by the memories of that young girl. Her face a constant reminder of the life he chose to leave behind. Time has passed and now he wants answers: What ever happened to her?
Anna Hill is an aspiring singer, but the bars and clubs she works in are far from exciting. 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 job offer comes at a price; one that will endanger the lives of those she knows, and those she doesn't. Becoming involved with the Syndicate is risky, and Anna will need her instincts to work out who to trust - and who not to . . .
'One of my reads of the year' DAVID JACKSON
'A gripping story that builds to a stunning conclusion. Kavanagh is a complex and original creation; a man haunted by his past and living on borrowed time' HOWARD LINSKEY
'Truly sinuous suspense that when you think you've got it worked out, has a resolution that snaps back and bites' KATE BRADLEY 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 He studied for an MA in Creative Writing at the University of Chichester, and won the 2010 Chapter One Prize for unpublished novels with the opening chapter of The Hidden Legacy. You can follow him on Twitter @gjminett and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/grahamminettauthor. A thriller about revenge and redemption. And how one action can have unforeseen consequences that resonate for decades . . . CRIME FAMILY SAGAS ARE STILL POPULAR: The success of multi-bestsellers Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers 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. Yes he's done bad things, but he's fiercely loyal, and lives by his own code. 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: Hard to find a book today (in any genre) who doesn't have one, but in Anna we find 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.
