"A superior thriller - filled with twists, satire and human insight." Steven O'Brien, The London Magazine Killing isn't good for the soul. After the tragic shooting of a friend during his last job Michael Devlin promises to never draw his gun again. But he is tracked down and blackmailed by Mason Talbot, a CIA agent stationed in London, into planning a hit on a prominent UK politician. With the help of the fixer, Oliver Porter, Devlin must carry out the job - and somehow find a way to prevent himself from becoming one of Talbot's assets. The assassination goes ahead. But Talbot inhabits a world of smoke and mirrors. Not all goes according to plan.
Devlin will end up confronting his most formidable enemy of all, his conscience. 'Ready For Anything' is a smart and entertaining thriller. Thomas Waugh, in the character of Michael Devlin, has created an engaging hero, or anti-hero, for our time. Perfect for fans of Graham Greene, Lee Child and Vince Flynn.
