Many thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the US debut thriller by Andrew Reid. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Ben Cross was fired on his first day at his new job in NYC. He thought his day couldn't get any worse. But when he's on the subway, he starts receiving anonymous text messages from someone with proof that they've just killed someone, then kills another as proof that they aren't bluffing. But Ben wasn't picked at random; he's got a past that he's been keeping secret.
This is pretty much non-stop action; be prepared for some gore as well. Taking place mostly underground in the subway system allows for even more tension and fear. I loved the character of Detective Kelly Hendricks - she's on punishment duty with the transit police for following her gut instinct; now that instinct may save the day. There are themes of nature vs nature, past trauma, and those in charge with ulterior motives. Told from multiple POV and past timelines, this book kept me at the edge of my seat. Looking forward to more from this author!
