The new Ben Hope thriller in the series which has sold millions of copies around the world
When things get rough, we should all have a friend like Ben Hope…
Retired army sergeant Boonzie McCulloch travels to the wintry Highlands of Scotland to help a relative in danger, but is soon deeper in it himself than he’d bargained for. Ruthless, controlling thugs are running amok across the region and will kill anybody to get their hands on a historic hoard of lost gold treasure.
But the villains haven’t reckoned on what’s coming their way. Because when you mess with an old comrade of ex-SAS major Ben Hope, you’re bringing a whole world of trouble down on yourself. Once he gets started he won’t stop until he gets the job done. With Hope on the war path, the snowy Highland wilderness is about to warm up considerably…
A gripping must-read for fans of Jack Reacher and John Milton series.
Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the twenty-first book in the series following House of War. People can’t get enough of Ben Hope’s adventures: ‘Compelling from the first page until the last, Mariani and his fabulous protagonist Ben Hope entertain in a gripping tale that will have you turning the pages well into the night’ Mark Dawson
‘Like the father of the modern thriller, Frederick Forsyth, Mariani has a knack for embedding his plots in the fears and preoccupations of their time … the action scenes come thick and fast, each one choreographed with painful authenticity’ Shots Magazine
‘Thrilling. Scott Mariani is at the top of his game’ Andy McDermott
‘History, action, devious scheming and eye-opening detail. Mariani delivers a twisting storyline’ David Leadbeater

ThrillingMind-blowingThis was my first experience reading a Scott Mariani novel and I really enjoyed reading it. A great story set in Scotland about a crazy millionaire hunting for historic gold coins stashed away in the pine forest of Lochardaich with the help of ex-military turned mercenaries. The plot picks up the pace with the entry of protagonist and an ex-SAS agent, Ben Hope who reaches Lochardaich in search of his missing friend and mentor, unsure if he is alive or dead. Together, with a local cop, the duo dwell into the enigmatic happenings in the remote village to unveil the truth. The author has created a brillaint visual imagery of the places and situations. The climax of the machination was intriguing with loads of blood, guns and explosives, typical of Bourne and Jack Reacher action genre. A fast-paced and heart-pounding action thriller that could be read as a stand-alone althougb this is the 21st book in the series. Waiting eagerly for the next one in series.
