    About this ebook

    FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR

    ‘Deadly conspiracies, bone-crunching action and a tormented hero with a heart . . . packs a real punch’ Andy McDermott

    A BRUTAL MURDER.
    A SCIENTIST ON THE RUN.
    A PLOT TO KILL MILLIONS.

    While secretly researching the bizarre discoveries of Serbian scientist Nikola Tesla many years earlier, physicist Claudine Pommier becomes the victim of a remorseless and cruel murderer who breaks into her Parisian apartment. Is he just a serial killer, or is there more to her death than the Paris cops believe?

    Maverick American biologist Dr Roberta Ryder receives a mysterious letter from her friend Claudine and travels to Paris to see her, only to learn of her shocking death. Before she knows it, Roberta becomes the target of ruthless men with a deadly agenda that only the letter can unmask. She’s alone and vulnerable. But she knows someone – the only someone – who can help her.

    Ben Hope, ex-SAS soldier and Roberta’s old flame, now trying to retire to a life of peace with his fiancée Brooke, suddenly finds his life turned upside down by Roberta’s sudden arrival in England. She needs his help; he can’t turn her down. In a frantic race to Paris and halfway around the world, Ben and Roberta battle to uncover the mystery of Claudine’s research, with the killers just half a step behind. In the process they uncover a global conspiracy that will claim the lives of millions of people . . . unless Ben can stop it.

    The Ben Hope series is a must-read for fans of Dan Brown, Lee Child and Mark Dawson. Join the millions of readers who get breathless with anticipation when the countdown to a new Ben Hope thriller begins…

    Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the ninth book in the series.

    • 4/5
      Standard fast-paced Mariani fare with historic references (albeit rather tenuous this time around.) Some weaknesses in the plot, but overall readable.
    • 3/5
      So in this one some fiend has constructed a giant vibrator. Ben Hope can scarcely believe such a device exists. He likes good clean fun without utensils. But the vibrator has already destroyed Ben’s prospects of marriage, and if he doesn’t kill an extraordinarily high number of men in the next few days, it’s going to destroy the earth.An enjoyable thriller with the most ridiculous premise I’ve ever encountered and an interesting sexual subtext. Good holiday read, or if you need to reboot your brain after a long squawk.
