Kill Them Twice
Amazon.com
My review -
Alice
(code-named Halo) is ex-military and now works for an organisation for which,
in essence, she’s a contract killer. Shard is a man pursuing revenge for the
killing of his brothers and comrades-in-arms in the Kosovo liberation army.
Alice kills in a vigilante style, executing those who have escaped or evaded
justice. He follows her and exacts punishment on her few friends and family. It’s
a real cat-and-mouse game with two people who are not afraid to go to extremes.
There
are some great characters in this book, although most of them are of dubious
morality. The men running a club with eastern European girls held as prisoners
to be used as prostitutes, with no rights and no defence, are utterly
despicable. The girls, one in particular whom we get to know, are sad and
without hope. Both Alice and Shard take her plight to heart and it adds a
richness to the book. The story is very fast-paced and the ending is harsh but
satisfying. I’ll be very happy to read more by this writing duo.
Thanks
to Marble City, the publisher, for a review copy of this book.
