Orla McLeod knows too much about violence for her own good. She knows about pain, she knows about guilt and she knows about survival. And because she was barely a teenager when she leart about these things, she knows what they can do to a child.

So when she and a nine-year-old boy are the only ones left alive in a freezing Glasgow tenement after a Special Branch undercover operation she was spearheading has gone disastrously wrong, there's no way Orla McLeod's going to let anyone else take care of Jamie Buchanan. Not when Jamie's the sole witness to Tod Svensen committing an act of savagery of the kind that's rapidly turning him into one of the most feared criminals in Europe. Especially since Svensen knows a lot about survival too.

 

 
This was reviewed as a five star thriller, that came incredibly cheap and so I thought it was well worth giving a go. I probably won't get around to reading it for a good while yet, but until then here it'll sit on my to read list.
