Book SynopsisTHEY'RE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S SECRET WEAPON. They call them the Taskforce. Designed to operate outside the bounds of law, trained to exist on the ragged edge of human capability, their existence is as essential as it is illegal. Recruited from top operators in the intelligence spheres and led by ex-Special Forces Operator Pike Logan, they are apex predators. An unrivalled hunting machine, until now. On a counter-terrorist mission in the triple frontier – the lawless border region where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay join – the Taskforce meets its match. And then the unthinkable happens, Logan's unit goes missing. As he heads to Brazil to investigate, Logan runs headlong into a crew of Russian assassins. Forged in combat, the Russians are the Taskforce's equal... but Logan's on the warpath. He'll do whatever it takes to save his team.

Soon, Carver and his stoical manservant Quint are drawn north to York, where they are implicated in a shocking death. The pair flee across the Channel, but soon encounter new treacheries in Berlin, the imposing and dangerous capital of the nascent Germany.Carver's Truth is both a compelling murder mystery and a splendidly full-blooded portrait of mid-Victorian England.Trade ReviewThis is the second outing for Nick Rennison's hero, and Carver's Truth does not disappoint.
