I make things disappear. It's what I do. This time I'm tidying up the loose ends after a casino heist gone bad. The loose ends being a million cash. But I only have 48 hours, and there's a guy out there who wants my head in a bag.
He'll have to find me first. They don't call me the Ghostman for nothing...

Reviews
Quite astonishing . . . Mature, impeccably researched and written with supreme panache, it moves like a black mamba and is every bit as deadly. Fierce, taut and with an intensity that burns the lungs, I doubt whether there will be a debut thriller to match it this year, or even next * DAILY MAIL *
Startling and sparkling assurance . . . A star is born? Quite possibly * SUNDAY TIMES *
Full of authentic detail, seedy locations and a high corpse count, it keeps you hooked until the very last page * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
Brilliantly clever, gripping and action-packed. Utterly original and bound to become a big-budget movie. * SUNDAY MIRROR *
Fast, hard and knowing: this is an amazing debut full of intrigue, tradecraft and suspense. Read it immediately! -- LEE CHILD
