I make things disappear. It’s what I do. This time I’m tidying up the loose ends after a casino heist gone bad. The loose ends being a million cash.But I only have 48 hours, and there’s a guy out there who wants my head in a bag.
He’ll have to find me first.
They don’t call me the Ghostman for nothing...
My Thoughts: I couldn't put this book down! I liked the detailed explanations of the choices he made, the procedures he took, the weapons he used. For those not quite so clued up on these things it was very helpful, and above all, interesting. I liked the attention to sensory descriptions. I liked the fact that I almost forgot the Ghostman is a criminal.
It's a proper action packed read with an anti-hero at the centre of the whole thing. Two tales twisted into one. Enough cliff hangers to keep me glued. Cue guns, cars and dirty money.
The short sentences and chapters and repetition of 'I' were a little distracting, but Ghostman is a fantastic debut - well written, well researched and one that makes you feel as if you were reading through the latest action movie. Fans of Lee Child, Robert Crais and other similar authors, should add this book to their 'to read' list.
