Blood Runs Deep - Stephen Taylor

. .

Résumé :
What was supposed to be a simple exchange in Paris turns into an ambush. Danny Pearson walks into a hotel room to find two assassins waiting for him, a hire van with a crate and chains parked outside, and a dead man who was never who he claimed to be. Someone didn't just want Danny dead - they wanted him taken alive. Before Danny can find out who set him up, he's snatched off a London street by a fake police unit, drugged, and shipped to Russia in a cargo crate. He wakes in Lefortovo Prison, Moscow - one of the most brutal jails on earth - with the Volkov mafia waiting for him on the inside. Annika Volkov is her father's daughter. Young, ruthless, and ice-cold, she has spent five years rebuilding the criminal empire Danny destroyed in Book 1. Now she's bought a prison governor, corrupted Moscow's police, and blackmailed a British cabinet minister into delivering the one man she holds responsible for her family's destruction. Her orders are clear: Danny must suffer endlessly, but he must not die. With no weapons, no allies, and no way to contact the outside world, Danny must survive daily attacks from Volkov enforcers while forging an unlikely alliance with Leonid Turgenev - a rival crime boss imprisoned by Annika for the same reason. Together, they plan an escape that will take them through the most dangerous corridors in Russia. Meanwhile, in London, MI6 spymaster Howard is closing in on the traitor who sold Danny out, uncovering a web of blackmail, corruption, and murder that reaches into the highest levels of the British government. Blood Runs Deep is the sixth instalment in the internationally bestselling Danny Pearson series. A relentless, high-stakes thriller that brings the Volkov saga full circle with savage action, a chilling new villain, and a conspiracy that spans London, Paris, and Moscow. Perfect for fans of Andy McNab, Chris Ryan, Mark Dawson, and Lee Child....

Biographie:
Stephen Taylor heeft ruim twintig jaar audiovisuele apparatuur ge?nstalleerd in woningen en bedrijven, tot de grote 50 in zicht kwam en hij eindelijk ging zitten om het boek te schrijven dat altijd al door zijn hoofd had gespookt. Dat boek was Geld Is Macht - een opgefokte, compromisloze thriller die vanaf de eerste pagina gas gaf en nooit meer terugkeek. Lezers waren zo enthousiast dat hij een prequel schreef: Bloed Over Londen, dat het eerste deel werd van de inmiddels internationaal bestverkochte Danny Pearson-serie.Opgegroeid met Lee Childs Jack Reacher, Vince Flynns Mitch Rapp en Tom Woods Victor - met een flinke portie Die Hard, Daniel Craigs Bond en alles waar Guy Ritchie ooit een camera op heeft gericht - schrijft Stephen precies het soort thrillers dat hij zelf wil lezen: hard, snel, geen vulling, en met genoeg humor om je tussen de vuurgevechten door te laten grijnzen.De Danny Pearson-serie heeft wereldwijd fans gevonden die houden van actie die nooit stopt en een held die net zo goed overweg kan met een gevatte opmerking als met zijn vuisten. Als jij van thrillers houdt met het gaspedaal op de vloer, dan zit je hier goed.ENGLISH. Stephen Taylor spent over twenty years wiring up homes and businesses with audio visual kit before the big 50 started looming and he finally sat down to write the book he'd always had rattling around in his head. That book was Execution of Faith - a supercharged, no-nonsense thriller that hit the ground running and never looked back. Readers loved it so much he wrote a prequel, Vodka Over London Ice, which became the first in what is now the internationally bestselling Danny Pearson series. Raised on a diet of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, and Tom Wood's Victor - with a healthy side serving of Die Hard, Daniel Craig's Bond, and anything Guy Ritchie ever pointed a camera at - Stephen writes the kind of thrillers he wants to read: hard, fast, no filler, and with enough humour to keep you grinning between the gunfights.The Danny Pearson series has found fans across the world who love action that doesn't let up and a hero who's as handy with a one-liner as he is with his fists. If you like your thrillers with the throttle wide open, you're in the right place....
