The Square Mile Murder

Tales of Mi7 #11

by James Ward

After a chance skirmish with an armed killer in central London, agent John Mordred ends up in hospital, condition critical. Six weeks and a full recovery later, he's persuaded it's purely a police matter, one he should forget about. But nothing in MI7 is ever that simple. There's more to this particular incident than meets the eye and unnamed people in high places want it investigating. They believe Mordred's the man for the job. Add to the mix five missing IMF officials, the kidnapping of a top British financier in Venezuela, evidence of a related cover-up in Whitehall, a young and unpredictable London Lord Mayor with acute delusions of grandeur, plus - most bizarrely - persistent rumours of local UFO sightings. Things threaten to spin radically out of control.

When an MI7 agent, John Mordred, steps in to help a man being hunted down, the attack on him has arisen many questions. Why would they let him live when the other guy had acid poured over him to hide his identity, plus they left the knife in his chest so he wouldn’t bleed out. It was almost as someone in his own organization did this to John, which he is trying to figure out what message is being sent and what will follow.

One of the other questions about this case is what does the young Lord Mayor have to do with the mysterious activities going on in the areas. The Lord Mayor believes it is the work of aliens, but something more sinister is at hand. The Square Mile Murder has some of the greatest detectives on the case, but its depth and multitude of facts keeps everyone on their toes, and no one knows what they are up against until the very end, even the reader.

If you love action, then this is definitely a book that will put you on the edge of your seat. You’ll be surprised to find the hero of the story has been stabbed in the opening pages, which makes the mystery even more of an intrigue. However, you can also bet that the story will be solved before you can get to the last pages, as the hero really knows his stuff. Of course, this novel does stand out from the rest in the sense that the dynamic of the story is a bit different due to the attack. I really thought this element was masterful and it quickly made this edition my favorite. As always, the author does a great job in portraying everything that is going on, which helped the story become more real to life. You will find this novel thrilling if you’ve read the author’s other novels, so don’t pass it up.
