Night of Knives

Night of Knives by Jon Evans
This is one of the best thrillers I've read for years. It has everything from a wonderfully convoluted plot to fast-paced non-stop action with some of the best descriptive writing I've read—setting the scene perfectly without interrupting the flow. As well, there’s an excellent cast of characters whose behaviour is at all times credible, if somewhat braver and more resilient than normal. The evil-doers are truly evil, but not exaggerated, indeed, the real-life conspiracies and intrigues of all our governments and their minions are worse than the plans of the nasties in Night of Knives.
For me the best thing is that the author obviously knows what he is writing about, has thought deeply on the topic and makes many penetrating, truthful observations about political, social, ecological and personal problems that afflict humanity.
This book is that rare thing—a moral tale posing as an absorbing tale of corruption and horror that informs but never preaches.

The start was enthralling indeed but then this reader became bogged down in a plot that became increasingly implausible.....sorry.

As good as the great modern day mystery writers. Look forward to more stories from this author.
