Resumen del Editor

Private Investigator Ryan Kyd and his sultry associate Carly Bloom have a less-than-conventional relationship. But when strait-laced MI5 agent Crispian Hunt enlists them for a job that they are in no position to refuse, that quickly become the least of their worries. Hunt sends them to Spain on what he claims will be little more than a government-funded vacation.

But Kyd soon realises that there is more to this case than an "all expenses paid holiday" to the Costa Del Sol. He and Carly are being sent to track down Constantin Stere - a Moldovan scientist from Porton Down who has been working on a secret formula. Stere has cut his ties with MI5, left the country and is threatening to sell his latest breakthrough to the highest bidder.

With the Russian Mafia, Mossad, and any number of terrorist groups fighting to get hold of Stere's formula, Kyd and Carly soon find themselves in the middle of a dark conspiracy involving the deadliest players in the international underworld. Can Ryan and Carly find Stere - and the potential weapon of mass destruction - first? Or will they be too late to save the world from Stere's devastating chemical agent?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A gripping crime thriller set in the heart of modern London." (Tom Kasey, author of Trade Off)
"An accomplished and entertaining slice of London noir." (Robert Foster, author of The Lunar Code)

Witty, Fast Paced, Adult Thriller

This is actually the fourth in the Ryan Kyd Series, but the first for me. I'm usually turned off by books with this much language and sexual content, but there is a lightness and comedy infused into Below Zero that causes the listener to not take it very seriously . . . and no sexual scene descriptions. The short listen is perfect for me, and the constant action keeps you wondering what's next. Ryan Kyd is likeable. He's smart and he even recognizes that his assistant, Carly is a lot more than a pretty face, which is another plus in my opinion. The twists and turns, double crosses and international intrigue really make the story. I'm going back to the beginning of the series and see what I've missed. 😉
