***Discover the half-a-million-copy-selling debut smash and prepare
to hold... your... breath...*** 'Panic is an instant classic' Lee
Child 'A sleak, smart thriller. No question: Jeff Abbott is THE new
name in suspense' Harlan Coben Things are going well for young
film-maker Evan Casher - until he receives an urgent phonecall from
his mother, summoning him home. He arrives to find her brutally
murdered body on the kitchen floor and a hitman lying in wait for
him. It is then he realises his whole life has been a lie. His
parents are not who he thought they were, his girlfriend is not who
he thought she was, his entire existence an ingeniously constructed
sham. And now that he knows it, he is in terrible danger. So he is
catapulted into a violent world of mercenaries, spies and
terrorists. Pursued by a ruthless band of killers who will stop at
nothing to keep old secrets buried, Evan's only hope for survival
is to discover the truth behind his past. An absolute page-turner,
Panic has been acclaimed as one of the most exciting thrillers of
recent years.
"You know, when you live in a time of progress, it seems that
progress is the only possible way. The idea that everything we'd
gained, all of those hard-won rights, could be taken away from us,
and that open minds could be closed again? But then the Outrage
happened." Welcome to England, where the Protectorate enforces the
Public Good. Here, there are rules for everything - what to eat,
what to wear, what to do, what to say, what to read, what to think,
who to obey, who to hate, who to love. Your safety is assured, so
long as you follow the rules. Gabriel is a natural born
rule-breaker. And his biggest crime of all? Being gay. Gabriel
knows his sexuality must be kept secret from all but his closest
friends, not only to protect himself, but to protect his boyfriend.
Because Eric isn't just the boy who has stolen Gabriel's heart.
He's the son of the chief inspector at Degenerate Investigations -
the man who poses the single biggest threat to Gabriel's life. And
the Protectorate are experts at exposing secrets.
