POWER PLAY

 

A nation under attack. A web of corruption. But who is pulling the strings?

A plane explodes over the Atlantic Ocean, killing hundreds of passengers, including controversial US presidential candidate Dale Victor. It appears to be a clear-cut case of terrorism. But as criminal barrister Michael Devlin is about to discover, everything is not as it seems.

Also suspecting there are shady forces at work, intelligence agent Joe Dempsey is driven to investigate. Who would have wanted this potential new president out of the way – and who would commit mass murder to do it?

All the way to the top of the US government, someone is determined to stop Dempsey and Devlin from discovering the truth. At any cost.

Selected by The Times as one of the ‘Thrillers of the Month’ for April 2020

PRAISE FOR POWER PLAY

Twist after twist . . . It builds to a brilliant finale
— Daily Mirror
A high-octane conspiracy yarn
— The Times
An intricate, twisty minefield of geopolitics and absolute power gone rogue. Kent has outdone himself with this one
— David Baldacci
A gripping conspiracy thriller
— Ian Rankin
Reads like Baldacci at his best. Really intelligent, bang-up-to-date thriller
— Steve Cavanagh, author of Thirteen
Scarily credible, and so pacy and well-written that I forgot where I was, who I was, and indeed that I was reading a book at all. Gripping, absorbing, a page-turner with characters you commit to 100%
— Judith O’Reilly, author of Killing State
The kind of fast-paced, action thriller that keeps you hooked until the very end. I loved it
— Simon Kernick, author of The Bone Field series
High stakes, high-octane action with twists and turns that will make you gasp
— Adam Hamdy, author of Black 13
Absolutely stunning. Almost eerily topical, it hits like a heavyweight and refuses to let go until the final page. Addictive stuff from Tony Kent, who isn’t playing with his claim to be one of the rising stars of crime thrillers
— Neil Broadfoot, author of No Man’s Land
