5.0 out of 5 stars Another good Callan novel, October 18, 2007

By 

Dandeleo "dandeleo" (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death and Bright Water (Hardcover)

For those who know the old British TV series of Callan, about a government secret service assassin, this book will be well worth your while to read. Even for those who don't know, this is an intricately-plotted gritty thriller which would interest anyone who likes a bit of backstabbing, murder and politics.
Callan, out of the government service, is met by some Greeks who want to hire his services for a little mission. When he hears the mission is a dangerous kidnapping in Greece he declines the job offer - but then Hunter hears about it and demands Callan take part. Along with his smelly thief friend, Lonely, Callan has to work with a range of untrustworthy assistants for a variety of devious bosses with several different agendas and preferred outcomes. Convoluted, tricky and exciting, it's another Callan novel worth a read - especially if you miss the TV series and you are waiting for the next box set DVDs to be released.

5.0 out of 5 stars Third book in the Callan series, March 25, 2002

By 

Ian Clarke (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death and bright water (Hardcover)

The third book in the Callan series and probably the best. Callan is hired by the department to go to Greece and do a simple job. As you might expect it turns out to be anything but simple but luckily Lonely is there as insurance.

A great read.
