I have just read this latest book in a day. What two better subjects to pick than corruption within sports management and the intentions of a ‘hard done by guy’ who wishes to obliterate the forthcoming Olympic games in London.
That’s not all for we get layer after layer of intrigue to make sure that we keep those pages turning. Foisted upon us are characters that are definitely super natural but wear their knickers on the inside. Heroes take a beating, go without sleep and still they carry on working ceaselessly to foil the plotters. Yes, there is more than one nasty. Cleverly, there are women involved as well, but not only the over performing Yard detective who plays second string to our man hero. Mr Patterson throws in a teaspoon full of mythology to give it an intrinsic taste that arrived via a very nasty conflict of twenty years ago. Get the message. It is all designed to move it all along at a very rapid pace and it does just that. To balance out all the tension there is that other emotion, love, that does come shining through and it is well done.
It would be ridiculous of me to give you the ending to this fabrication as the Olympics will take place in July but I will keep more than one eye on ‘The News’. In the meantime I will stick with short stories!
