Today is my turn on the blog tour for Dead Reckoning by Rob Sinclair!
Here’s the blurb
The most dangerous people are those with nothing to lose. Who don’t care if they live or die.
Simon Peake does care… he just isn’t sure about what right now. The ex-soldier’s life is as close to rock bottom as it gets.
He needs a job and he needs a quiet life.
What he gets is a whole load of mess working for New York-based Irish mobster Harry Lafferty. A job that requires him to use his special skills on some very unsavory people. His relationship with Harry’s niece isn’t exactly conducive to a quiet existence either…
As Peake tries to walk the fine line between surviving in this new life, and atoning for his old one, he struggles on both counts. And when his past comes back to bite him, and those closest to him are threatened, the reckoning will be merciless for anyone who stands in his way.
Review
Dead Reckoning follows Simon Peak, ex-soldier, down and out.. Peak needs a job and fast.
Peak has been in prison but it’s time to turn his life around.. well as much as possible. His opportunities are limited so he ends up at the doorstep of Harry Lafferty and his crew.
The pressure is ramped up when Peaks landlord demands 3 months rent so when the crew need a driver Peak doesn’t say no.
Little does he know his fate is now sealed.
Peak gets slowly sucked into their world and almost immediately makes a decision that will come back to bite him.
It’s not all doom and gloom though.. Peak finds a connection with Harry’s niece..but can he balance work and the growing connection between them?
Added to that Peak has history.. and an anger inside that he must use every ounce of strength to keep buried.
The thing about history is it won’t stay buried forever.
Things soon start going wrong and people end up getting hurt.. but why? Can Peak put the pieces together?
What I really loved was the timeline as the author explores both past and present, allowing the reader to learn about who Peak really is.. what broke him. It’s dark, gripping and packed full of high octane wow moments.
I love the little details added to, to give real depth to the main characters, emotions.. a realness.
The authors real talent for writing shines through and if you are a fan like me you’ll love it. Rob Sinclair manages to keep offering new and fresh characters that you get invested in but with the same gripping edge and style of story we love. There’s twists and turns along the way that really pack a punch too.
5/5 Stars
