Royalty Protection Team officer Robert Finlay is looking forward to
a quieter life, when two police officers are killed and their links
to his own past becomes clear ... putting everyone's lives in
danger. A startlingly authentic debut ... first in a page-turning,
searing new series. **NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER** **Shortlisted for the
CWA John Creasey New Blood Dagger** **LoveReading Debut of the
Month** 'Terse, tense and vivid writing. Matt Johnson is a
brilliant new name in the world of thrillers. And he's going to be
a big name' Peter James 'From the first page to the last, an
authentic, magnetic and completely absorbing read' Sir Ranulph
Fiennes ____________________ 2001. Age is catching up with Robert
Finlay, a police officer on the Royalty Protection team based in
London. He's looking forward to returning to uniform policing and a
less stressful life with his new family. But fate has other plans.
Finlay's deeply traumatic, carefully concealed past is about to
return to haunt him. A policeman is killed by a bomb blast, and a
second is gunned down in his own driveway. Both of the murdered men
were former Army colleagues from Finlay's own SAS regiment, and in
a series of explosive events, it becomes clear that he is not the
ordinary man that his colleagues, friends and new family think he
is. And so begins a game of cat and mouse - a wicked game, in which
Finlay is the target, forced to test his long-buried skills in a
fight against a determined and unidentified enemy. Wicked Game is a
taut, action-packed, emotive thriller about a man who might be your
neighbour, a man who is forced to confront his past in order to
face a threat that may wipe out his future, a man who is willing to
do anything to protect the people he loves. But is it too late?
____________________ 'Utterly compelling and dripping with
authenticity. This summer's must-read thriller' J S Law 'Out of
terrible personal circumstances, Matt Johnson has written a
barnstormer of a thriller. Nothing is clear-cut in a gripping
labyrinthine plot, which - despite thrills and spills aplenty -
never falls short of believable' David Young 'Wicked Game has the
authenticity I look for in a thriller. While the plot kept me
turning pages, the characters made me care. Matt writes like a man
who has lived it' Kevin Maurer 'Johnson litters his tale with the
plotting equivalent of incendiaries: cops we don't quite trust, a
career that came abruptly to an end, a secret needing to be kept
... Gripping stuff' New Welsh Review
