Known for his gritty, no holds bared thrillers Rob Sinclair has with his new damaged hero Simon Peake, taken a leap into the dark and terrible goings on of a world most readers can only imagine in Deadly Mistake.

When cartel fix-it men come knocking on Peake’s door to get help disposing of a body, he reluctantly agrees, after all the money will be useful and then they can go away and leave him to his hard-earned peace.

But as it turns out the body is not dead, but alive, if only just and it is a woman who is smartly dressed. He immediately wonders what is going on and over the course of the next hour, two of the men who arrived are dead and the third, vanished without a trace!

Peake makes the decision to try and save the woman and by doing so opens the door to his past once again in a far more challenging way than usual. He has inadvertently set of the inevitable hornets’ nest of Syndicates vying for top position in a very small playing field.

As the woman slowly regains consciousness, she appears to have amnesia, but as Peake is slowly beginning to discover, something is just not right; who is she and what is she really trying to get him to do is something that will most certainly get him killed if he can’t work out who is the man pulling the strings and what does he really want.

Bloody and bloodthirsty Deadly Mistake is perhaps one step too far in the gruesome stakes, but the plot line is solid, the characters leap up off the page and the heat from the desert regions of Gorgia where the novel is set is palpable. Not for the faint of heart at all but a good read.
