The Sweetest Morsel

Daniel Hunter #2

by James Craig

Back in London after a gruelling, bloody and ultimately doomed mission behind Islamic State lines all Daniel Hunter really wants is a quiet life. Not a chance. Hunter falls into what looks like an easy affair with an exotic London business-woman but little does he know that she’s going to drag him back into the dark heart of Islamic extremism, assassination and international money laundering – this time on the streets of London. As the action moves relentlessly between the Middle East, Hong Kong, London and the South of France, the body count rises ever higher and a reluctant Hunter is forced to call in a few favours before his world spirals out of control, again. Praise for James 'A cracking read.' -BBC Radio 4 'Fast paced and very easy to get quickly lost in.' -Lovereading.com ‘Slick, pacey and laced with great humour. A proper page turner. Another cracking good read from James Craig!’ ‘Black humour and a body count nearing double figures, James Craig has exceeded himself’ ‘Daniel Hunter is Ryan, Reacher & Bourne all rolled into one…’

[Jo Perry · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was hooked on Craig after reading A SLOW DEATH. While I yearned for more Max Drescher, A SHOT AT SALVATION, book one in the Daniel Hunter trilogy, was audacious, caustic, darkly funny and just flat-out terrific. THE SWEETEST MORSEL moves the series forward with a jolt: Back from Syria, Hunter works security for a posh London gallery and becomes involved with a gallery client. The woman is "toxic but fun" for Hunter; She's sexy and needy––and what she needs is money and murder. The toxic fun never ends as revenge is plotted, bodies fall, and world-weary intelligence officers and keepers of the peace seek justice--whatever that is. Looking forward to book 3.
