NO WAY OUT by Alan Jacobson - SIGNED & NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION UK BOOKSee all titles by Alan Jacobson.
When a powerful firebomb destroys part of an art gallery in an exclusive
London district, FBI Profiler Karen Vail is dispatched to England to
work with Scotland Yard. But Vail soon discovers that at the heart of
the bombing lies a 440-year-old manuscript that holds clues to England's
past—with content is so explosive that a group of political radicals is
bent on destroying it at all costs. The trail leads Vail to a
notorious fugitive who appears to be planning a major attack on London
and the United States. Soon she finds herself on the run from the
British security service, Scotland Yard and a group of internationally
trained assassins—all determined to silence her…all tightening the net
to ensure that she’s got no way out. National Bestselling
author Alan Jacobson has crafted an intelligent, twisting thriller
destined to be talked about long after the last page is turned. Named to Suspense Magazine and The Strand Magazine's "Best of 2013" Lists!
FBI profiler Karen Vail can’t catch a break. After her last case (detailed in Inmate 1577), she is needed in England to solve the bombing of a London art gallery. Scotland Yard doesn’t want her help, and Vail needs a success to get back in the good graces of her superiors. A cursory examination of the explosion site reveals the existence of a secret manuscript that could change the history of the written word forever. Then someone she knows and trusts appears to have become a traitor.
Verdict – Vail is a terrific character, and throwing her into a foreign environment without her usual allies invigorates the plot and the series. Jacobson also knows how to throw in plot twists that are shocking but logical at the same time. Fans who have tired of James Patterson may enjoy discovering this author with this outstanding thriller.—Jeff Ayers, Seattle P.L.
