Summary

Liverpool: a suburban crime family grips a whole city with fear.

And their ambition reaches further still.

Galicia: an entire community waits on the windswept edge of Europe for the delivery of four tonnes of cocaine, brought across the ocean in an almost unbelievable craft.

London: Jonas Merrick, grey and quiet, alone in a small office, seems an unlikely character to be tasked with bringing down an international drug network.

But while Jonas's colleagues regard him as scratchy, fastidious, old, he is also ruthless, cunning and brutally pragmatic. And he has a man on the inside: a would-be money-launderer on that wild Spanish coast. A man who has been undercover for so long, he has almost forgotten who he really is.

And he is due to come home. Has to. For he will be given no mercy if he is caught.

But Jonas needs him to stay.

The superb Jonas Merrick is fast becoming one of the great figures of British spy fiction. In At The Kill may be his most compelling story yet.

Epic, Beautiful and sensual yet cruel and nasty.

I came to G Seymour late in the day. I am now though ploughing my way through his life work. If only there were more serial novels like these. The detail is beyond everything. Ive met some great people in Seymours books and longed for more of them, but it's the spareness and loss at the end that makes the experience so human. There is no more. That hurts.

The only similarity to Smiley is a hat and age. The rest is non transferable.

Ben Allen is so relaxed with these Merick books. So connected. His women are all terrifying. He does women so very well. Faultless acting and narration.

International locations and characters. As taught as a drum. Kenny is wonderful and Ben Allen gets him spot on when he is fighting for his life.

Buy these. Glorious.

Enjoyable

Well plotted as usual, character’s realistically developed and most expendable which adds to the tension. Unmarked scene breaks don’t lend themselves well to audiobooks though.

Very good indeed!

Being brought up in Chester and being Gallego, it was a very interesting read. I'm quite familiar with galician towns and cities you mentioned and liked how you described the coastline as well. As for the plot, very suspenful, filled with strong characters. We'll done!!

Undercover operation re. Drugs. The undercover op was to expose crime families both in the uk and spain.

This was, in the end, a good tale. Very explicit in parts and also very goary, It was disjointed and hard to follow at the beginning. It took some time to follow the thread as It jumped from one part of the story to another. Once fathomed out the process made good listening. I couldn't wait to know how the story would conclude.

A Carefully Woven Plot

A good plot that is maybe slightly padded out to suit the Jonas Meyrick character. Overall a good book with a good narrator

Gripping story of infiltration into a violent drugs cartel st in Spain and Colombia

Well-drawn characters who seem realistic with human flaws and a gripping storyline. Narration adds to the suspense and is very good with all the different characters.

Good Story

I liked this book,but felt there was too much waffle with, in my opinion, unnecessary exchanges between people to no effect.
It wouldn’t stop me listening to another book though.
