Today,
we’ll look at The Carbon Trail which
is a standalone thriller from the mind and pen of Catriona King, successful
author of the Craig crime series set in Belfast (#1 to #9 already published,
#10 and #11 imminent!)
Blurb:
Espionage.
Murder. Love. Jeff Mitchell has a headache and he doesn't know why. But then,
he doesn't know much about his life at all. Only one word means something:
carbon. 100% of diamonds and 20% of the human body. What does it have to do
with the agents tailing him in New York? Or the threats against his life? Who
is the exotic brunette who would kill to protect him? And the beautiful blonde
in his bed? The Carbon Trail - the mind has no limits.
Amazon review
extracts:
This
story is a non-stop chase from beginning to end as Mitchell pieces together his
past, never knowing for sure who he can trust. He discovers that he's a
top-flight scientist, working to develop a revolutionary process that could
earn whoever holds the patents billions of dollars. Of course, the potential
for such wealth attracts lots of interest...
This is an incredible read that demands to be read in one sitting, if you can. You'll do well to guess each twist that the writer throws at the lead character; they come so quickly and so unexpectedly that you can't help but be entertained. This was the first Catriona King book I read and I was so impressed, I immediately downloaded the first of her Craig Crime Series directly after finishing it.

I
found this to be a really clever story, lots of twists and turns and even when
things start to come together it is not obvious how things are going to end… This
is a big, ballsy thriller that brought to mind the works of Dean Koontz and
Michael Crichton.

Catriona
King's writing style is clean and clear, her characters are well drawn and
their roles are all important to the excellent storyline. She is such a
talented writer and, with this new departure, she is proving her worth as a
first rate storyteller with many strings to her bow.
