Our Review

They thought John Beckett would be an easy target. They thought wrong. Deep undercover as the right-hand man to a ruthless crime lord, British Secret Service officer John Beckett's mission is blown when a dangerous data leak exposes his identity. Now a marked man, Beckett is on the run–but his enemies have made it personal by kidnapping his niece, Amber. In a world without trust, survival means risking everything. Darkness on the Edge of Town is a pulse-pounding thriller perfect for fans of David Baldacci, Lee Child, and Robert Ludlum. Dive into Matthew Hattersley's gripping John Beckett Series, where loyalty comes at a high price, and the next move could be your last. _________________________________ Praise for the John Beckett Series ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Author Matthew Hattersley has kicked-off an intriguing series with a remarkable character, John Beckett. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ …great thrillers with a unique hero. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is a thrilling ride!
