Return Fire By Tom Barber
Sam Archer returns in RETURN FIRE the latest novel by Tom Barber,
The story picks up a few months after the previous book One Way ended, Sam Archer is struggling with the events of that sunny afternoon when Archer was forced to take refuge in an apartment block with a US Marshall Alice Vargas who is trying to protect her witness. Although some good has come from the experience as Archer and the Vargas have become an item and moved in together but things aren't going well at home and Alice has gone to Spain to look after her ill grandmother hoping the time away from Archer will bring them closer but just before she is about to return to NYC she is kidnapped by pair of eastern European gangsters based in London who specialise in human trafficking.
Archer and the rest of the NYPD Counter terrorism team head to London and link up with Archers former colleagues at the ARU to track down Vargas’s kidnappers and rescue her but once they arrive in London it soon becomes apparent that Vargas wasn’t the real target as both agencies become under fire from a series of unidentified sources which leaves Archer involved in a race against time to discover and bring to justice his latest nemesis.
As with all the other Sam Archer books the action is fast and furious that leaves the reader unable to put the book down as you are desperate to find out what twist and turns are coming next. I have said this before but these books could quiet easily be a series of movies, Tom Barber’s writing style is easily improving with every book he writes saying though it doesn’t mean his earlier books are any less enthralling it just means he’s establishing him self as a very good author.
