This is the ninth novel in the Lambeth Group Series by Gordon Bickerstaff. I have previously read and reviewed another of Gordon’s earlier books. I hoped Extreme Prejudice would be as good.
A foreign embassy official warns the UK government of a bomb attack on London. Zoe Tampsin’s Lambeth Group team is launched into a race against time to find the terrorists.
As Zoe unpicks the details, she suspects the informant didn’t tell her the whole story. With time running out, her team chase a promising lead only to have it wrenched from their grasp. Either the bombers were incredibly lucky, or they received a tip-off.
One of her team infiltrates the bombers. She discovers the attack has started, and her colleague Gavin Shawlens is missing, presumed killed by the terrorists.
While searching for Gavin, a massive disaster unfolds. Can Zoe stop colossal loss of life in a small community and prevent the collapse of a key pillar of society.
Gordon Bickerstaff didn’t let me down. Extreme Prejudice is a superbly written, action-packed, adrenaline-inducing thriller that so easily grabs the reader from the explosive beginning of this book.
The characters have solid backstories and I have met some in the previous book I have read too. Saying this, I realised had only scratched the surface as I learned more and more about them as I read this book too. This succeeded in making them, even more, three dimensional and real.
Gordon Bickerstaff proves once again he is a master storyteller. A riveting, nail-biting, immersive and edge of your seat thriller that even has you holding your breath at times. His skillfully placed, unexpected twist in the tale meant I finished this book feeling like I had just read a top-quality blockbuster title! That’s what Gordon Bickerstaff’s stories deserve to be…blockbusters.
With thanks to ZooLoo’s Book Tours and Gordon Bickerstaff for my copy of another superb novel.
