Kill Chain, the fifth Evan Delaney novel, is published today in the USA.
Here’s what the Guardian said about the novel:
“Evan Delaney is a paragon for our times: tough, funny, clever, brave, tireless and compassionate. In the very readable Kill Chain, she chases round the world to save her father from kidnappers, and is pitted against worthy opponents — especially the pair of chemically altered whores with the bodies of children but “eyes stained with age.” The pace and inventiveness never flag, and the climax, which takes place in the terrifyingly impersonal container depot in the port of Los Angeles, is both nailbiting and moving. But the brilliant writing is what puts this thriller way ahead of the competition… Intelligent escapism at its best.”

“Intelligent escapism at its best.”
Could any writer ask for higher praise?
