Another good Callan novel

For those who know the old British TV series of Callan, about a government secret service assassin, this book will be well worth your while to read. Even for those who don't know, this is an intricately-plotted gritty thriller which would interest anyone who likes a bit of backstabbing, murder and politics. Callan, out of the government service, is met by some Greeks who want to hire his services for a little mission. When he hears the mission is a dangerous kidnapping in Greece he declines the job offer - but then Hunter hears about it and demands Callan take part. Along with his smelly thief friend, Lonely, Callan has to work with a range of untrustworthy assistants for a variety of devious bosses with several different agendas and preferred outcomes. Convoluted, tricky and exciting, it's another Callan novel worth a read - especially if you miss the TV series and you are waiting for the next box set DVDs to be released.

Third book in the Callan series

The third book in the Callan series and probably the best. Callan is hired by the department to go to Greece and do a simple job. As you might expect it turns out to be anything but simple but luckily Lonely is there as insurance.A great read.
