Cold Justice: The Sunday Times bestselling thriller (Mallory)

Product Information

From Birmingham to New Orleans to Johannesburg, you get a flavour of the different settings and how each informs and affects the storytelling. Although spaced carefully throughout the book, the chapters give a real insight into the man and the tragedy that haunts him.

Readers who prefer action rather than brain teasers and superheroes who talk with their fists rather than their cognitive abilities will definitely enjoy this novel. First time I’ve read anything related to this genre, wasn’t expecting much, however I was pleasantly surprised. Sceptical initially of Middleton’s foray in to the fictional world, given his prior publications are normally of the self help and mental fitness (very good books, just an FYI), I am pleased to have been proven wrong. Perhaps it’s redemption, perhaps he’s looking for revenge on the world, but suddenly Mallory has a purpose, and nothing and no one is going to stand in his way. But then he made a fatal decision, gambling with the lives of his men with terrible consequences: two dead, and his young friend Donno left in a coma.There is no doubt that the author knows his stuff - also no doubt that we aren't treated to even half of the real work that goes on behind the scenes of such an operational But it's enough to pique the interest, get the heart rate thumping and to make it clear that the conflict they are facing is not just with the enemy.

One time when he is visiting, Donno's mum approaches Mallory and she tells him that she is worried about the safety of her son, not Donno, her other son Scott.The description of each place is excellent, really well detailed and you feel like you could be there. Hardback sales of hardback thriller debuts published in 2021 as measured by Nielsen Bookscan About the AuthorAnt Middleton was the front man for Channel 4's hit show, SAS: Who Dares Wins, among other major series, and a hugely bestselling non-fiction author . After a mission to grab a High Value Target (hvt) goes wrong, Mallory consumed by guilt, is drifting through life with no purpose.

This is a book that works so well because it doesn't need to be showy or impressive when the author knows exactly what would happen in each situation and the reader can feel that knowledge and security through every page. This was a good, fast paced action thriller with well written, rounded characters and a good smattering of humour. It is not a classic of the genre and has nothing you haven’t seen before, but it is competently written and will scratch your thriller itch. One day Donnos mother asks him to help her find Donnos brother who went missing in South Africa a few weeks earlier. Mallory was obviously drawn from Ant's experiences and having read his biography I thought it would be a bit samey.Can Mallory find redemption, a new purpose, were he will need every ounce of training, to rescue his friends brother, and get out alive.
