Journal Entry 1 by retromonkey from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire United Kingdom on Saturday, October 11, 2008
Synopsis
John Meron, a happily married father of two who's never been in trouble, receives a phone call that will change his life for ever: his friend Jack Calley, a high-flying City lawyer, is screaming down the phone for help. As Meron listens, Calley is murdered. His last words, spoken to his killer, are the first two lines of Meron's address. Confused and terrified, Meron scoops up his children and hurries out of the house. Just in time. Within minutes, a car pulls up outside, and three men get out. It's clear that they're coming for him. He's being hunted and has no idea why. And with his wife missing, an unidentified corpse in her office, and the police after him for murder, his life's about to get one hell of a lot worse.

Picked up at Sadlers on Saturday 11th October. Looks good, so onto TBR pile!
This was a really exciting read, and kept me gripped from start to finish. Tom Meron's ordinary life changed into anything but that, once he'd answered the phone on an ordinary Saturday afternoon.
His old friend, Jack, is screaming down the phone and pleading for help. His dying words (to his captor?) are the first two lines of Tom's address... Tom quickly picks up his two young children and puts them into his car and drives off, aware that whoever is after him will probably drive straight to his house....
His wife, Kathy, is working overtime, so he tries to contact her time and time again, but there's no answer...
As the story unfolds you soon realise that most people aren't who they seem to be, and you don't know who Tom is able to trust. Kernick managed to keep the book fast-paced throughout, and there were a lot of surprises among the various twists and turns.
An entertaining read. (I'd certainly like to read more from Simon Kernick in the future, too!)
