Only to Die Again

Readers of Lee Child and Dan Brown will love this outstanding high-concept thriller by Patrick Lee

'Patrick Lee is a huge talent' Lee Child

***

A DESPERATE PLEA FOR HELP

The middle of the night. Sam Dryden takes a call from an old friend from his days in the military. She needs his help. Urgently. There's no further explanation.

A RACE AGAINST TIME

Two hours later, Dryden and his former teammate smash their way in to a remote desert shack. Inside they discover four young girls, caged and threatened with death by their abductor. Dryden acts.

AN IMPOSSIBLE SECRET

But how had Dryden's friend known what about to unfold? Why was it so important that they flee the scene before the police arrive? Only one thing is certain: Dryden is now facing a ruthless enemy that always seems to be one step ahead . . .

Praise for Patrick Lee:

'Audacious and terrifying - uncannily believable' Lee Child

'Pure adrenaline rush . . . an action-packed novel brimming with complex characters as well as genuine heart. Not to be missed' Lisa Gardner

'Patrick Lee is in a word: Brilliant. Less a novel, than an adventure, it left me breathless and awed. It's explosive, innovative and ultimately mind-blowing. Pure exhilaration from the first page to the last' James Rollins

'An amazing, high speed, hi-octane novel than moves faster than most people can read. Rarely is a story both plot driven and character driven, but Runner does this and more' Nelson DeMille

'I'm going to sue Patrick Lee for giving me whiplash: that's how furiously paced this book is. A terrific cast of characters, unrelenting action - strap in and enjoy the ride' Jesse Kellerman

'A thriller done right. It literally begs to be read in one sitting . . . Patrick Lee is the real deal' Steve Berry

'WOW! Double Wow! Starkly original . . . mind-blowing' Stephen Coonts

—— James Rollins

The real joy of the Serrailler series is Serrailler himself…rich in incident and intrigue

—— Daily Express

Nothing’s quite as it seems, except Hill's brilliantly compelling prose

—— Daily Mirror

A wonderful storyteller… she is also one of those rare crime writers whose books invite a second reading

—— Scotsman

Hill's Serrailler novels have developed into a series whose appeal stretches beyond their genre... The secret of Hill's narrative style is that she forces the readers to invest emotionally in her characters. And then she makes ghastly things happen to them... It sounds easy, but it isn't

—— Spectator

The Simon Serrailler novels are in a league of their own; literate, detailed and full of drama - they stand head and shoulders above the majority of crime novels. This is the eighth novel in the series and is the darkest and most disturbing yet. It is also the best.

—— CrimeSquad

Kept me turning the pages, gripped

—— Woman & Home

Although at times distressing, Hill tackles a difficult issue without losing any tension and the finale keeps the reader gripped until the last page

—— Jaymi McCann, 4 stars , Sunday Express

Never less than wholly absorbing

—— Church Times

Highly unsettling

—— Daily Telegraph

A tantalising mystery

—— Sunday Telegraph

Captures sinister atmosphere brilliantly

—— Spectator
