Die Twice: Andrew Grant
Die Twice, by Andrew Grant, St Martin, 2010. isbn 9780312540272
Andrew Grant returns with his second novel featuring David
Trevellyan, former Royal Navy Intelligence Officer and now a trouble
shooting spy for the British Government. After the serous events in
NYC(portrayed in Grant’s terrific first book, Even) Trevellyan is
lying low in Chicago when summoned to The British Consulate. He is
sent after an intelligence agent gone bad who is selling dangerous
nerve gas. In his profession who do you trust, an agent must operate
alone.
Grant books are a breath of fresh air. Like many of the best
thriller writers today(Eisler, Child, Ghelfi, Staeger, Flynn, Thor,
and many others) his books feature a tough hero lead and are part
crime novel and part adventure novel. His plotting is excellent,
relevant and features issues from today’s news. I look forward
to his next book. Collectors take note, his first book is already
hard to find. Richard
