About the author

I was born in Ireland and after graduating in engineering and business I decided that I wanted to see the world. With Shell International Petroeum and the National Iranian Oil Company I worked in England, Holland and Iran. As an international diplomat I lived in Belgium, Malta, Kenya and Zambia. I had the great good fortune to have a career which fulfilled all my travel desires. Since retiring in 2011, I have been living on the West Coast of Ireland and I've been writing full time. I love reading and concentrate on thrillers and history.

A high octane thriller, impossible to put down.

This was such an enjoyable read. Exciting, fast moving. A great crime story centred around power boat racing, a subject I knew nothing about.

Derek Fee always delivers great stories with strong characters.

When is a copper not a copper…when it’s Kane!

Excellent story, slightly different from the norm for Derek Fee, but enjoyable all the same.
Only one criticism and that is the big jump from Chapter 54 to 55. What happened Derek, run out of words? Otherwise very good.

Ghisnov met my interest all the way through. I learned a lot about power boat racing. Interesting twists on who the killer was. Look forward to the authors next book.

I have really loved the DI Wilson series- the writing is great. Was warned this one was totally different, and it was. Very, very good even tho i didn't like the main character much at first! It is very fast paced and impossible to put down.
