Readers, it's happened again. You know what I mean. I've fallen in love with a series. A Wanted Man by Rob Parker is the first in the Ben Bracken series, and I was well and truly hooked from page one.
Ben Bracken, an ex-soldier, has engineered his own escape from prison, on a mission to seek revenge on the man who put him there. It soon becomes clear that Bracken is one of the good guys, and I found myself rooting for him immediately. Bracken is side-tracked by an old friend Jack, who desperately needs his help following the murder of his father. Before long, he is tangled up with the biggest crime mob in Manchester: the Berg.
This pacey, action-packed thriller will lead you through the streets of Manchester (one of my favourite places, might I add!), lure you into the murky world of organised crime and leave you on the edge of your seat. The explosive action scenes were particularly well-written and full of the drama you crave from this kind of book. I have to say, I could totally see this playing out at a film. Reader, I challenge you to try and put this book down!
With an expertly-crafted plot, perfectly-flawed characters, plenty of twists and turns and a brilliant ending that I didn't see coming, I wholeheartedly recommend A Wanted Man if you like your thrillers gritty, dark and packed full of action.
Now, excuse me while I order the entire Ben Bracken collection...
