Cold Justice: The Sunday Times bestselling thriller (Mallory)

Product Information

It's a truly globetrotting thriller as Mallory traverses the globe trying to complete his mission and it becomes even more enthralling and absorbing as it progresses with the tension being ratcheted up to extreme levels towards the end; it leaves you feeling breathless, and before you know it another similarly nail-biting moment swiftly arrives. After a mission to grab a High Value Target (hvt) goes wrong, Mallory consumed by guilt, is drifting through life with no purpose. It's dark, gritty and nail-biting with high stakes and increasingly palpable suspense that cannot fail to give you palpitations. One day Donnos mother asks him to help her find Donnos brother who went missing in South Africa a few weeks earlier. Faced with being out of the military after a raid went sideways, he reluctantly agrees to help the mum of one of his injured comrades.

Also what keeps him going and why he is determined to do right by Donno and his mother, even when the stakes are increasingly high. But now he’s looking for a missing man and the local police aren’t the most helpful… missing adult men don’t seem to be treated as a concern. Yes, there are times that his ability to evade the baddies seems a little exaggerated, especially as the majority of it is completed single handed, and the folks he is up against aren't exactly amateurs. His army training comes in very useful when he gets embroiled in the murky underworld of some wealthy and very dangerous criminals.I started this book without any expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the beginning: I liked Mallory a lot more than I expected to like a thriller hero. Cold Justice is Ant Middleton’s debut fiction novel which features a former special forces operator by the name of Mallory who is flooded by his own self guilt.

Throw in a kidnapping, gun fights, a chase through alligator territory and a final showdown, this a thrill ride from beginning to end. This was a good, fast paced action thriller with well written, rounded characters and a good smattering of humour.Rated 8/10 Ant Middleton is probably more widely known for his role fronting the SAS programmes on TV. Mallory is the kind of man that is so sure of his capabilities and masculinity that doesn't need to put others down and that is sadly unusual in a lot of thrillers. It comes across as a very action packed, testosterone fuelled cinematic type of one hero led adventure at first, and with graphic references to military life in Afghanistan, I wasn't sure I would enjoy this at all. He's not the perfect all action hero, although it's fair to say he's pretty handy in a fight and has a real awareness of his surroundings and the imminent threats as you would expect from someone of his pedigree.
